But a lot of rescues get their pups from animal shelters (after they have been treated by the shelter vet) and then turn around and place a high adoption fee. Also a lot of them also use vets from the Humane Society, Animal Trustees or other orgs., so they get vet work done for cheap. I have come to believe that some of them even know each other and have formed cliques. I think rescuing is very noble but I also have met some rescuers that have hoarding problems by keeping most of the animals they get...seriously I have. I'm not saying this for ALL RESCUERS so don't get offended if you don't have these habits. I am talking about here in the Lone Star State which has some darn good rescue orgs, but and some questionable ones too.
