Hi Diane,

You have a lot of stipulations for a dog. In any case, I have no idea 
where you can find a dog like you describe: a puppy from an "oops" 
litter that's like your previous dog and costs $100 or less and is perfect.

I always recommend rescue. The reason for the fees and adoption forms 
are to make sure the dog is getting a good home and doesn't come back 
into rescue. I did Border Collie rescue for 15 years and I can tell you 
that many homes I visited were not adequate for the dog in question, 
hence the paperwork and home visits. Being a foster home is expensive, 
hence the fees.

Sorry, I can't help you.

Carole
