Let me also add most reputable rescue's do not adopt out of state unless they have someone who can do home checks etc. It is a known fact that people can and do lie on the internet and no one would send their rescued dogs to someone home without knowing what kind of home they are sending them to. A reputable breeder would not either.

You are right, a reputable rescue always spays and neuters the dogs.

P.S. I saw a breeder on here sell a dog and when the owners did not want it anymore then she came on here and said it was a rescue. This is not a rescue in my book but a breeder making a very poor decision on where she/he placed their dog. These kind of breeders also give rescue a bad name.
