It all comes down to greed! In my opinion, a rescue would become more of a broker if attending and buying from auctions. You might as well be working right along side with the puppy mills your buying from. A rescue is supposed to be just that ~ a rescue group. However, if you are able to buy lets say, a biewer for $65 or so at an auction then turn around and sell it anywhere from $200 - $500 then that would be a broker. You are making a profit not off setting the costs. I think it is understandable to charge what you rescue the pup for, the vet bills and throw in a $20 or so to cover gas... thats it. Sadly, when you get too many hands in the pot, greed starts showing its ugly face! It is irresponsible to take advantage of other's kind hearts & donations for your own disgusting greed! Those involved should be ashamed of themselves and this so called organization needs to be not only exposed but shut down as well!
