Dealing with veterinary costs as they are now is tough.

What are you going to do when serious medical issues arise?

I was going to do the morbid humor thing of taking all the photos in the OP and labeling with the host of nasty problems that will inevitably occur in all those dogs and try to give you an idea of how your costs won't just increase, they could skyrocket in a rather short period of time (i.e. 5 years). How will you decide who gets what medical care? Are you going to put a limit on the amount of money you are willing to spend on each one?

What complicates things is the human psychological component... and even with external funding, non-profit status... you could end up losing a lot of dogs in a relatively short amount of time.

Better to get psychological help now and send the dogs to homes that will have the ability to either...
a) pay thousands for advanced medical care when the need arises
b) euthanize and not put their family out of their home/get 5 more dogs to compensate for the loss.

Edit: Thanks PaisleyFox, forgot there was that many, and decided :effort:
