I have never ever posted an inflammatory post in all of my years on this board, and anyone who knows me on here can attest to that.
There's nothing wrong with not adopting from a rescue...I have absolutely no problem with that. I, myself, purchased and did not adopt my 2 furbabies.
I have absolute no idea why you are so defensive....All I did was state important information.
The only reason I posted in the first place is that I think it's important for people to know WHY they charge so much money for rescues...And the reason is because of all the money they put into the many sick dogs that they take in and rehabilitate.
Today is my first day on here in quite awhile..This is actually one of the first threads I have read in a very long time, and I thought I could contribute to the discussion...I feel that I have been wrongly accused of being harsh, and I am still in shock to your reaction...
I only posted to inform about the prices of NON-profit rescue organizations, that's it... |
You said in your last post.
I think it's extremely wrong to categorize yorkie rescues as scams just because they charge between $200-$500 for their dogs. They do this to pay for medical bills, and so that they can rescue *more* dogs. They do this to afford treatment on these sick dogs that they know can live healthy lives after surgery/treatment/meds, so that they can live out very happy, healthy lives in their new homes...
I replied back to a post whos siggie was looking for the right Yorkie for me
I never categorize yorkie rescues as scams.
I never used the word "scams" for REPUTABLE rescues
Didnt say it and I dont think it.
But I'm sorry but not all of Rescues or individuals who rescue are reputable...
I know a LOT of money goes into making these animals well, as I'm sure most on this forum do.
You yourself say There's nothing wrong with not adopting from a rescue...I have absolutely no problem with that. I, myself, purchased and did not adopt my 2 furbabies.
Thats what I was saying ....Not ALL rescues are bad, I think most of them have their heart in the right place.
But dont feel bad because you want a healthy good tempered trustful puppy from a breeder.
I have absolute no idea why you are so defensive....All I did was state important information.
Yes your info was great...
I too am one of the easiest people to get along with
I' m sorry if you felt it was harsh.
