Many people believe that anyone who says he/she is a rescue person is indeed looking out for the welfare of the pups. That, sadly, is not always the case.

There have been some mills and byb's removed from Petfinder for this type of activity.

Now...in saying that, I am not saying that a reputable breeder who is rescuing is not. I know that some breeders do rescue. One thing that a reputable breeder will do when placing a pup as a rescue is to alter it first.

Additionally, any reputable rescue will alter a pup prior to placement.
I find it disturbing when people call themselves rescuers and place pups for possible breeding purposes.

Just wanted everyone who reads this forum to be careful when obtaining a "rescue". You might be getting a very sick, used up pup from a mill or byb. These pups also many times have major medical issues.

While some of these pups that people like this promote are cheap they often are not vetted and will end up costing hundreds, perhaps thousands in vetting costs. When you adopt from a reputable person, the pup might cost more, but there will be no hidden vet costs. The pup should be fully vetted and you should receive all medical information and not have any surprises!
