My only involvement with anyone affiliated with the rescue in any way has been with Diana, and though I don't know about the organization in general, I can truly say she got involved with a heart to save and place as many dogs as she could, and I was optimistic the whole organization was like her, though I know after reading this that might not entirely be the case.
I have read a lot of the posts, and I think buying at auctions isn't such a good deal for rescue things to do. However, whether or not they are making a profit by selling dogs, I think that the main point is that they still are saving them. Though some intentions might not be right on track 100 percent, the action is still important. And though they aren't saving thousands, they have saved many little pups since they started. I'm not defending or bashing them, because like I said, all I know about it is what I read here, but I feel like its kind of like when you give a homeless person money. You did a good thing for someone, what he chooses to do with the money (drugs, booze, etc.) is not your responsibility, because you gave with a pure heart to help this person. I feel that saving a Yorkie through the rescue is the same way- you give them the money with the intention of saving the Yorkie, if the rescue is making a profit or mismanaging the funds, yeh that totally sucks, but you saved the Yorkie because you love the little pup and want to give them a good home. Like I said, I'm not an advocate for either side, just wanted to share my thoughts. |
