After literally weeks of housing one small dog, I've finally managed to find him a permanent new and loving owner. Interestingly when I had the dog advertised as being free to a good home, I had just a couple inquiries. The moment I placed a re-homing fee on him, even though I didn't really care about the money, I had over half a dozen people wanting to see him. What actually prompted my adding the fee was the second person inquiring actually left me waiting in a hot car with a dog and two small children for 30 minutes. Then simply stopped returning my repeated requests to meet to see him.
I admit, I feel better knowing someone had to put out money to adopt the dog. Even though it was just a minimal fee. At least I know the new owner is willing to spend some money on him.

Did I ever tell you the Washing Machine story? These folks had a washing machine that worked fine, they just upgraded and so didn't need it anymore. They put it out on the curb and hung a free sign on it, and no one wanted it. It set out there for about a week. So they figured no one wanted it because they thought it was broken, put a $50 sign on it, it was stolen that night.
