There is an exception: when payment is made using something already consecrated for sacrifice. Once sanctified, an object no longer belongs to its former owner. Our Mishna notes that this also applies to birds. Rashi and Rambam argue about this last point.

Temura 30: What Can Be Used in Sacrifice, What is Sanctified
We cannot use tainted money - that used to pay for etnan zona, a sex worker's services, or mechir kelev, to pay for a dog (Devarim 23:19). Today's Mishna explains that this applies to animal sacrifices as well as other sacrifices. If one paid for sexual services with win or oil or fine flour, those objects cannot be used to buy sacrifices.
