I would like to add that some of your respected breeders are also members of Kennel Clubs that in turn work with the community to place stranded dogs. Our club has rehomed several pets, including 1 that his owner was sent to Iraq. We also work with the city to connect pet owners of all kinds with ppl that can help to train the owner and the pet to effect a happy home life keeping some pets from getting dumped. We also make an effort to educate the community on responsible dog ownership.
