How I saved the econ and the Puppy

I went to the Berkeley Animal Humane Society today and adopted this cute little terrier. His previous owner suddenly passed away =(.

People with dogs know that dogs are a life time commitment. They can get very expensive and is the livelihood of many stores like pet food and grooming.

The total $ injection I put back into society from my savings account is:

$290 adoption fee

$229.83 purchasing doggies necessities

$519.83 Total today.

This doesn't include the visit to the vet and her vaccinations. That will cost around $80.

Also $40 a month for grooming, $30 of food a month and examination annually. Average life span is 15 years. That makes about $216,000 for it's life.
