i want to live on a secluded ranch in Montana with a herd of french bulldogs. A HERD!

"Wow that's interesting. I earned thousands of dogs just by doing this one simple thing. Click here to learn one it is."
mooxfish
I'm more concerned about this "nearly 20 dogs" thing... so like, 19 dogs or 20 dogs but one's missing some limbs?
leonth3duke
Adoption fees around me are $400+ sadly.
nastin
Sometimes shelters will have a special, but usually adoption is way more than $50.
AMatureTwink
Don't forget about vet bills and food
genericleversn
That's so much poop tho
Alpine262
I'm downvoting this because too many dogs get adopted by people who can't afford them, then end up abandoned.
Ringshadow
You can also buy the entire Cracker Barrel menu for the same cost plus a good tip. Choose wisely.
Kovahjin
Haven't had Cracker Barrel in so many years. Wish there was one in my area.

Dogs smell, i'll just save the 1000$ and collect interest.
Cheomesh
Amen to that.
BladesOfGloryHole
Also, shed, shit, chew and bark. I love other people's dogs.
Cheomesh
No joke.The first dog my wife adopted chewed holes in my walls,ruined my carpet and blinds,etc. all while we were training him.
TedTheMan
Where are you getting a dog for $50?
Shardinian
Donnie's Discount Dogs.
omadonnadellerose
Wtf? It's free here in Ita
KalYahna
Adoption fees help cover what the shelter/rescue pays for medical care, housing, food, etc.
iswearyoucantrustme
Un cane di razza lo paghi di solito
omadonnadellerose
Al canile no!
Ultamate523
Some shelters and rescues charge an adoption fee.
TedTheMan
Normally the ones in my area have $100 adoption fee.
sppwalker
My dog cost $350! That's the standard rescue fee in my area (Silicon Valley, so I guess they're as overpriced as everything else…)
Pigby
Some of them charge less if you adopt a dog that above a certain age.
TacoBellBody
120 at the local shelter but they have black friday's where black dogs are 50% off since they are adopted at a lower rate
thebosstweed
Shit, that's expensive! We got our sweet boy for $30 on discount adoption day.
GalbraithS
In my area ive seen them anywhere from 250 to 350
NightPainPoe
250 in my area too.
Cheomesh
$150 here
GuardianDinklage
$350 is cheapest for mine
GoDrunkYoureHome
70 here
arrkay
As long as you don't factor in feeding 20 dogs, or caring for them in any way whatsoever, sure.
iwantyourcat
You also have to pay for the monthly phone bill, so there is that also
arrkay
You can spend $40/month for solid AT&T service. Good luck feeding dogs, keeping them flea-free, and healthy, for $40/month.
twocatsgluedbacktobacktodefyphysics
Then you should factor in the phone bill too
arrkay
Still less than feeding and keeping 20 dogs healthy.
Ultamate523
If shelters and rescues can do it, I'm sure it's possible to feed and care for a pack of dogs.
Kavrae
The cost isn't 0... his point is that there's a cost involved, so it's not a flat $999..... Granted, phones have monthly costs... so maybe?
arrkay
I've spent far more on my dogs than on my phones the past 8 years but you're right.
Catmancer9000
You could always feed a dog the other dogs I wouldn't recommend it but it is a dog eat dog world after all
arrkay
I'm usually game for a terrible pun but this one just didn't cut it...
ScicleX
Came back to upvote, well played.
Ultamate523
There's an amazing rescue called the Cleft Pup Brigade that inspired me because they care for some of the most difficult cases.
Kavrae
Do you have the time, space, and resources to care for large numbers of dogs?
Kavrae
Good intentions and a positive attitude aren't enough.
Ultamate523
Like I said, it's a just a dream. I'm not the person in the twitter post.
arrkay
We have the same dream. That doesn't mean the math magically disappears though. :)
arrkay
Well, aside from the cats thing. I hate cats.
cr4sh0verride
But my $500 dog has features your $50 dog won't have for 5-10 more generations.

As a baker of many types of bread I can confirm this comment
shedooooooooo
Not if you get the off-breed. Make sure that bitch is authentic before you expect upgraded versions.
Strostkovy
I can breed puppies 5-10 generations
plainoldusername
Like bad hips and breathing problems?
ohdued
And my $500 phone from 5 years ago has features that new $999 iPhone finally has, and some it still don't.
acuteavocado7
like the lack of a home button?
FlatPlutoSociety
That is NOT a headphone jack, by the way.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
That's the "open mouth" button.
veritasgear
It could be...
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
At which point we'll realize all these upgrades have amounted to a bug
adrian91091
It's not a bug, it's a feature

KingOfTheAnarchists
My current dog has facial recognition.
CdnDecoy
Mine is voice activated too, I just wish I could change the alert sounds to vibrate instead
Muttons1337
Get a Chihuahua, it has both.
CdnDecoy
Mine is a corgi/chihuahua mix, apparently it didn't get the vibrate feature :(
KingOfTheAnarchists
My cat's got that.

I hear they can be temperamental tho
daisyfrankenstein
I had a friend who made millions being an investment banker, retired at 38 and used his money to start a pit bull rescue in NY.
thedudeabides32
Well your friend is awesome! High 5 him for me!
doomsdayaddams
Jon Stewart and his wife have apparently done something similar.
idontenglishsorry
That's his friend
Misslnformation
Did he play for the Eagles?
daisyfrankenstein
Hahaha luckily no, he did not!
alexandRAwangthree
Can you tell us the rescue?
daisyfrankenstein
Look up New York Bully Crew.
alexandRAwangthree
Omg! Craig?! I love New York bully crew great rescue
daisyfrankenstein
Yes! He's got the biggest heart ever! And probably why I love these little pibbles so much!
alexandRAwangthree
He's awesome. I'd love to be doing what he's doing
alexandRAwangthree
I don't know him personally but I've met him once at an event with 2 of the dogs d'angelo and Carmen when carmen got adopted. Wish I lived
daisyfrankenstein
He's so nice! I just remember his knobs being chewed off on his car dash from all the crazy dogs.
alexandRAwangthree
Closer. I would love to volunteer there and adopt a dog of course when I have my own place
forlornonthecob
I love my adopted baby, but shes cost me at least $1,500 just this year. Not sure about this line of argument.
adr1an
Yeah, people are really bad at finances when it comes to stuff they love. But dogs are worth it, unlike most phones today.
Ivain
I mean, considering the rate at which people seem to break their iphones, you're still better off.
Typohime
Yeah my beagle spaniel mix just cost us about $900 and there's at least 900 more coming from follow up.
Kovahjin
My dog got run over and his leg was crushed so bad it had to be amputated. Cost $1,100 to do it. My bank account still hasn't recovered.
MrSpookywasagoodboy2
The trick is not to take them to the vet, when they die just adopt a new one
DukiPetrovski
Absolutely, just another virtue signaling verified account.
BigJewishHulk
Spent 2k on my cat this year. That's vet only. But she's ok now.

Ultamate523
I just want a dog or two lol.
questionableanswers
kids usually go to work when grown up, produce own income. They'll eventually break even and be a worthy investment.
Tsurrani
There is a special credit card you can get that will help with vet bills.
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
Care Credit.
annelions
Which you still have to pay off...
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
imagine that.
UnworthyBeatrix
So roughly half as much as people spend on replacement charger cords?
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Not to mention actual phone plans.
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
The expense is why I don't own a pet right now. I'd love to have one but I can't afford it.
forlornonthecob
Good on you. I used to volunteer with rescues before I could afford my own and that helped scratch the pet itch some.
yhellothargoodsir
Yeah dogs get sick and you usually pay out of pocket for medical costs and food and toys etc
ucfh
There is pet health insurance.
Slashinhobo
Better get insurance. We pay $60 a month but get reimbursed for just about everything.
0ByteMe1
Who’s your vet? I currently have Banfield and pay $35ish but I still have to pay extra sometimes don’t get reimbursed
Slashinhobo
My vet is in MV, CA I pay $55 for a visit and whatever it cost for the treatment. I get the 55 back and % of the treatment, if need.
indrada3290609
But you also gotta pay the phone bill
DrAnk
Apples and gushers dude.
nigglemaster
THAT'S NOT GUSHERS!
NougatFromOrbit
Apples and dogs you mean
SkeletonRecruiter
My GSD mix cost us roughly $50,000 over the 10 years of her life. Worth every penny.
Nightbladecluthu
Wtf did you plate your dog in gold
SkeletonRecruiter
No, it was sweet, sweet titanium and medical care.
longoriaisaiah
For what??
SkeletonRecruiter
2 tplo surgeries, cancer surgeries, renal failure meds, vet bills (x-rays, tests, shots, etc), specialty food, pain meds, euth&cremate +
Belacor
God bless you. Sorry for your loss.
SkeletonRecruiter
Thank you :)
SkeletonRecruiter
+ day to day things add up, like bedding, collars, leashes, shampoo, flea & heartworm meds, toys. She never met a toy she couldn't destroy.
longoriaisaiah
Damn. Sorry about the loss. I have a little GSD pup. He's a shit head. Haha
IamTheRealBowser
Yeah we stopped getting toys for our dogs after they destroyed the first bunch but playing fetch and chase worked as a substitute
Cheomesh
Fuck that
jasonddgs
Would you just let your children die?
Cheomesh
Dogs aren't people.
SkeletonRecruiter
They still deserve the best quality of life you can provide, and that is what I did. She wasn't a human, but she was a member of my family.
SkeletonRecruiter
Yeah, but she saved my life, twice.
jiffyrocks
Would love to hear those stories!
SkeletonRecruiter
Short version: 1. Was getting out of my car to walk around track in the evening. Turned and opened door to let dog out, and she froze, then
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
i'm mostly intrigued by the fact that you accurately kept track.
SkeletonRecruiter
I had to budget that kind of spending very carefully so we could also eat and have a house to live in. ;)
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
impressive! i work at an animal hospital and see how expensive pets can be especially with chronic conditions. doggy was lucky to have you.
SkeletonRecruiter
Thanks :)
