Warum nimmt das Tierheim eine Schutzgebühr

Mixed Breed · Unknown

“Just be glad to get rid of an animal!” vs. “What doesn’t cost anything is worth nothing!” In an era of online classified ads and a thriving pet trade on social media, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to explain to people the necessity of adoption fees. Time and again, our staff members are confronted with this issue and try to help prospective adopters understand why the animal shelter insists on collecting an adoption fee. Considering the actual costs—such as housing and medical care—the adoption fee is merely a contribution toward covering expenses; it neither fully covers the costs incurred nor generates a profit.

“Seid doch froh, ein Tier los zu sein!” vs. “Watt nix kostet, ist auch nix!” In den Zeiten von Internet-Kleinanzeigen und florierendem Tierhandel in den sozialen Netzwerken, wird es immer schwieriger den Menschen die Notwendigkeit von Schutzgebühren zu erklären. Immer wieder sind unsere Mitarbeiter mit diesem Thema konfrontiert und versuchen den Interessenten für ein Tier zu erklären warum das Tierheim auf die Zahlung einer Schutzgebühr bestehen muss. Unter Berücksichtigung der tatsächlichen Kosten wie Unterbringung und medizinische Versorgung handelt es sich bei der Schutzgebühr lediglich um eine Kostenbeteiligung – weder deckt die Gebühr die entstandenen Kosten ab, noch ist sie gewinnbringend.
