If it helps, once a vet helped me out in the same way and I am forever grateful, and I did pay. Even with all the money I had set aside, I was not expecting to pick up a gravely injured puppy. We drove a 9 hour round trip and when we got to the shelter they claimed they tried to call me (three contacts and never once did a phone ring) and that Smalls had parvo. I asked to see her anyway, and it evident she did not have parvo. The official vet diagnosis was a prolapsed rectum and ruptured intestines. It was leave her to inevitably die/be euthanized, or take her and find out. I took her and my vet quoted me an intensely expensive surgery with a huge amount they required down and said the odds she would survive were basically zero. I am not an emotional person, but I could not help but cry. They put me on hold and I assumed because well, I was sobbing and when they came back they asked if I could put down basically peanuts and pay $30 every two weeks. I didn't need or expect any where near that, so I put down the tiny amount they asked and then when the two weeks $30 payment came up I paid them in full, because I really only needed a small window of time.
So, a big thank you to the people who generally get burned when they try to do some good. Smalls will be 6 in a few months and I'd pay the money a thousand times over.
