I have nothing but respect and admiration for those that can truly devote their time and efforts to saving even just one animal. It takes a whole heck of strength and emotion to do what you do, as well as money, that obviously does not grow on trees
I honestly do not see anything wrong with Rescue Adoption fees. Most are very reputable rescues and I think they know what it takes and I think they 'assign' a fee that is appropriate for the 'needs of the rescue operation' and I am glad they can get it, because money doesn't grow on trees
As far as dog auctions. God Bless you for even being able to 'think' about stepping foot into one. I can not even read about them, actually just reading the words "dog auction" sends anxiety through my body....
With the way this country is and it's greedy officals and millers, it is going to take a long time of 'education' and 'money (that doesn't grow on trees)' to get that 'education' out there to effectively stop this horrid abuse and neglect for animals. So the states that allow or have such an abundance of auctions, I really don't see anything wrong with a rescue going in and 'buying' what they can, b/c as stated, those that aren't bought...well...I am sure you can figure it out
Rescuers keep up the good work....SOMEONE has to do it
