I haven't 'done rescue' as you would term it but have privately rescued dogs and cats from horrible conditions. I didn't re-home them but rather kept them. One of them was a Dobie that was in such bad shape that my vet told me I should put him down and if not, that he didn't want me to bring him in to his office again. It took 2 years before that dog cleared up (he had red mange over 100% of his body) but I had him for 9 years and he was a wonderful pet.
Honestly, I didn't mean to rile anyone up with my post. I just thought that some of the comments went a bit far. From the links posted, I saw someone that operated a pet store that also rescued dogs. Again, I'm no fan of pet stores but I just didn't see deception on her part. I also didn't see that she tried to pass herself off as not-for-profit. It may not be ethical to those involved in rescue but if animals that would be otherwise put down are getting homes, then that's great. As I posted, it is curious to read her prior posts given her background, but I just didn't see enough to demonize her. Perhaps this thread was started to get info since she isn't a breeder. There 'could' be a more innocent reason than some deception. Maybe it's just me, but I try to have a less suspicious nature, especially with such limited info.
