Big dogs eat. If you can't afford food for the kid, or yourself, don't
get a dog for free. It is like another kid. Medical and all.

She definitely wasn't free. $238 adoption fee, $15 for a licence, $250
for a crate big enough for her, plus a Halty, bowls, rope tug, bag of
food... BUT: Free vet checkup on Friday, and 6 weeks of pet health
insurance for accident and illness.

It'll be worth every penny.
