Do they really rescue or does it just sound good, do these dogs live in their home or is it what they know you want to hear. You really don't know. EDUCATE and USE GOOD JUDGEMENT. Elaine |
good post !!
I haven't looked at the website and don't need to ..it bothers me that a 'vet' would add so many dogs to the already overpopulated problem ....
as it would be nice to have a vet here posting - (not that it would take the place of our own vet) but just to read ......I think the real reason is to sell puppies. Not wanting to sound rude - but when someone signs up here and their 1st post is about puppies for sale - forget the credentials - and look at that first.
BUT we can't say someone is a puppy mill just because they breed too many dogs....unless they have puppies in the hundreds - then it's a different story....to me - that's a mass breeder / mill ....and we already have WAY TOO MANY in this country.
