Wagmor adopting fees START at $650, most $850,
max so far - $2000.

Wagmor claims to have rescued 4500 dogs or
200 per month.
Lets be conservative, average out adoption fees to $850.00
Questionable Wagmor adoption process
1. Why aren't all adoption $$$$$$ the same? Some dog's medical care costs more than others, but that doesn't change the fee? But adoption fees are higher for purebreds? That sounds just like a pet store or breeder.
2. Why is the application process completely focused on PUPPIES? Don't you rescue adult dogs? If your answer is you use the word interchangeably, referring to all dogs as "puppies", then we have a follow up question...
3. Does that mean that you don't get to meet the dog before finalizing the adoption? Adopters don't meet adult dogs before payment is recieved?
4. If that is not the case, that means that you aren't using the word "puppy" interchangeably, IT MEANS YOU FOCUS ON RESCUING AND ADOPTING PRIMARILY PUPPIES!
5. Does Wagmor return the adoption fee if it's not the right match? NO
$850 x 4500 = $ 3,825,000
Plus donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars, transport vans, $150,000 for her store, +++++++++
Very high end, 2 million goes to medical care for the dogs.
WAGMOR'S VETERINARY must be DOING WELL.
Wagmor doesn't pay fosters. That still leaves over $2 Million+ in the bank.
most rescues discourage puppy adoption
MANY RESCUES DISCOURAGE ADOPTING A PUPPY, OFTEN RECOMMENDING AN ADULT DOG.
This is for a couple of reasons:
1. Puppies can be more work than people expect
2. Puppies are easier to find a home, adopting a dog over the age of 1 years old is a tremendous help.
3. Far more adult dogs are surrended than puppies.
But not Wagmor.... Puppies all the time! ...
IF YOU WANT A PURE BRED / DESIGNER DOG - Research responsible breeders. Melissa purchases puppies from backyard breeders which are the same as puppy mills - Adopt Don't Shop Legislation has back fired in this case!
Yes, dog rescue can be costly...but
$$$$$$$$
Wagmor is "involved" with more large hoarding cases than Animal Control. The public needs to ask more questions. These cases usually involved an enforcement agency. Do puppies get abandoned on the side of the road? Yes. However, the sheer number of puppies and the frequency of such occurrences is highly suspect.
