I understand you're joking, but the shelters around your place must be operating very differently than the ones around my place if you can get dogs from them for free or at a low cost. Seems to me they do everything to try to discourage people from getting them in the first place.

Most shelters and municipal animal facilities have learned to charge an adoption fee that's high enough it inhibits the dog fighters from 'adopting' them as bait animals.
In my neck of the woods, the fee is around $100.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I felt it only fair to let her know it was full of MINT Spies.

The Wok is not enough!
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

The Last Bug
Lou Ellen Davis wrote: “But you're out of your mind,” They said with a shrug.
“The customer's happy; What's one little bug?”
But he was determined. The others went home.
He spread out the program, Deserted, alone.
The cleaning men came, The whole room was cluttered
With memory-dumps, punch cards. “I'm close,” he muttered.
The mumbling got louder, Simple deduction,
“I've got it, it's right, Just change one instruction.”
It still wasn't perfect, As year followed year,
And strangers would comment, “Is that guy still here?”
He died at the console, Of hunger and thirst.
Next day he was buried, Face down, nine-edge first.
And the last bug in sight, An ant passing by,
Saluted his tombstone, And whispered, “Nice try.”

I thought it might be headed in this direction:
When my work is finished
And my time on Earth has passed
I hope they bury me upside down
So my critics can kiss my...

"You might be singing a different tune if you take Hugh's side in an argument at The Now Show. (12)"
For any non-Radio 4 listeners, the link would have informed you that The Now Show comprises Hugh Dennis & Steve Punt.
So, if you took Hugh's side in an argument, you might be CONTRAPUNTAL - "singing a different tune"
Sorry

I had no idea whatsoever ... and the link didn't help, since it didn't indicate any competition, or that the "teams" were fixed at Dennis vs Punt:
Episode 3
Steve Punt and Gareth Gwynn present the week via topical stand-up and sketches
Episode 4
Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis present the week via topical stand-up and sketches
Episode 5
Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis present the week via topical stand-up and sketches
Episode 6
Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis present the week via topical stand-up and sketches

Contrapuntal doesn't mean 'singing a different tune'. It would mean setting multiple melodies into a single musical score.
A poetic puzzler might interpret this as a second answer to the clue.

Without wishing to appear bullish, singing two or more melodies would be counterpoint and they are by definition different ...

The woman shouts "Shouldn't! Wouldn't! Didn't!"
A nurse tries to help the woman, but she can't make sense of what she's saying.
The woman now goes "Can't! Won't! Don't!"
The nurse is very confused and calls in the help of a doctor.
Again, the woman shouts "Let's! I'm! Isn't!"
The doctor hears this and says "Quickly nurse, admit this patient. She's having contractions."
Ba dum tsss... And I'll let myself out again.
