You have to look at it from other perspectives though: They are running a hard bargain already by sacrificing their own time to help get these animals anywhere better. A fee obviously is necessary for adopting because they have to take care of 100's of other animals. Also, if someone pays the fee, it shows they are commited to supporting the animal. If you love the animal you see, you should be willing to pay for it. My bullmastiff ended up costing me a whooole lot, but I didn't care because I love that dog. Costs are necessary, just because you don't like to pay them doesn't make it bad.
