To be fair, I paid a $75 adoption fee for my dog, and he was from the HSUS. Even rescuers have to cover their costs, right? As long as they're not turning around and selling it for full price (i.e. a "rescue albino" for $500), it can still be considered an adoption... but I digress, LOL.
Btw, I've been browsing that guy's website, and he does some amazing rescues! Thank goodness for people like him...
You actually adopted your dog from the Humane Society of the United States? You're sure it wasn't a local community run Humane Society?
To the OP, nearly ALL of my baby balls were smaller then 87g at hatching
