I know there are a lot of them being taken to rescues, but I doubt that those breeders tried hard to rehome them.
There are a lot of people out there wanting adult purebred dogs that have been taken care of.
People often do not want rescue dogs because so many of them come with problems. But are delighted to get a dog that has been spay/neutered, teeth cleaned and is in excellent condition.
Puppy millers cannot rehome theirs because they are terrified, matted, unsocialized, and the list goes on.
I rehomed a stud after I had him neutered and teeth cleaned. I gave him to a previous buyer who wanted a second dog but could not afford one. So he went to a home that was delighted to get him. My biggest concern for him was to get him into a home with another dog since he was used to being with other dogs. |
I think you like any others have a misconception of what many rescues and the dogs that they have really are all about. Yes, some rescues "specialize" in just mill rescues but many dogs that are in rescues right now are owner surrenders. With the economy the way that it is people are not able to properly take care of their pets and the lucky ones that are not dropped off at the local shelter or left behind are turned over to rescues. It is very sad how many wonderful little yorkies are just waiting at a rescue for a new loving home because their family could no longer take care of them.
If more people were aware of what wonderful pets a rescue really could be more people would be willing to adopt.
