We do not use any outside sources for funding, we are fortunant and do not really need to. We have been involved in rescue for many years and have always done things this way. Proffit is not asking $10.00 if you spent $10.00, it is asking $10.01 when you only spent $10.00. If you must do it that way thats fine but it should be capped at oh lets say $20.00. Of course I go back to my point if you cant afford to take care of them with out worrying about getting back ten dollars you spent to care for and keep an animal alive, you should not be running a rescue. Also you mentioned you ask for an adoption contract. By chance do you also breed reptiles? Do you offer these animals for sale? Do you have a no breeding clause? Do you have a no breeding clause with the all your animal sales?
