I wouldn't go into debt over a dog. I also would not take donations from people for a personal dog either, just my personal preference.

I DO have some dogs that I would spend more on "fixing" than others. It's just the way life is. I mean, Hobie is almost 13, I would not dump money into him at this point, he's lived a long happy life. Red is almost 7 and has quite a few joint issues which mean a pain free life is not going to happen, right now her pain isn't bad...when it gets bad then I'll probably make the choice to PTS rather than dump thousands into trying to make her pain free when she never will be due to her poor structure. Judge is a very active dog, anything that would take away his ability to be active would mean PTS for him, I would dump more money into him than the others because he is younger and he is what I want and where I want to go in the dogs.

There are several other factors and things but I do have a limit on vet care and will make a decision based on some factors and money is one.
