I live in Chicago,and want to find someone putting an bulldog up for free adoption. I can pick him up, need him in the next 2 weeks.

I have been researching English bulldogs and have been wanting one for quite a while. The only thing that holds me back to get one is the high cost. In my local newspaper, I have come across some classifieds where the pups are free for adoption. They say that they have been vet checked, but it sounds too good to be true.

I put in an application to rescue a bulldog, and I was contacted yesterday and told there were 2 available. The rescue volunteers had an in-home visit and showed pictures of the dogs and we picked one out. They said the adoption fee was $600. I know these are very expensive dogs, but is this a little high? They said they will hold the check for 30 days to make sure we’re happy with the dog, and it will also come with it’s own crate. Does this sound right?
