The lives of these Yorkies, etc depend on people who don't care if they have the "perfect" dog with papers a mile long. While I am pretty picky about what animals I adopt into my home I am not a purebred snob. I believe in my heart that my little rescue is just as good and worthy of love and spoiling as any high dollar perfect purebred with papers. But then I am her mom. |
I don't have the perfect dog! I got my dog from a pet store and he is not even 4 and had Patella surgery and loads of other problems, that has cost me 3000 already. I wouldn't change a thing I love him to death, would I buy from a pet store or BYB you bet i wouldn't.
I am NOT a snob nor do i want a "perfect" dog, I just want a healthy one next time around. Would I adopt a rescue, for sure , from a reputable organization, a newspaper is not that.
Don't judge me, nor presume what I am. I simply meant I wouldn't adopt a dog I didn't have any knowledge on or not knowing what I would be setting myself up for money wise
And I am my baby's mom and I wouldn't change a thing.
