In my opinion when someone helps a breeder find homes from their used up dogs then they are brokers. A breeder should never have more dogs then they can find homes for or else they should have to keep them and not keep having more puppies to make $$$$. These are living creatures and are not product that goes on sale when it is used up...GREEDERS NEED TO STOP WITH THE VOLUME OF DOGS THEY ARE PRODUCING!
It is heartbreaking for sure but the problem will continue when these greeders get more room for the next patch of dogs. We cannot save them all and unless people start demanding changes in the law then no matter what anyone does this will go on and we will continue to euthanize millions of animals.

BYB use their dogs to make money off them but when their to old to make litters they don't seem to care where they go or how their health is.. many have never had the life that our Yorkies have. they are used and then tossed out. same with the mills. it makes me ill to think about it all. when one does get saved they know what one has done for them you can see it in their eyes.
I know I once got jumped on for helping a breeders dogs try and find good homes. I didnt do it for the breeder but for the dogs. but sadly there was just to many that I couldn't find homes for all at once. so thats where a rescue came into the picture. they could do it , while I could only take one in at a time, they could handle them all at once, they screen do background checks often visiting the adopters. there's a lot of hard work in finding these babies forever good homes. they make sure they have vet care before leaving. shots spayed/neutered etc...
I have 2 rescues now I cant place them in a good home because the people who have wanted them . well its just was never a good match. these two have already had very hard lifes. theres noway I would ever just let just anyone have them. for I know if I did they would be homeless once again. so if I never find a good home for them they will stay right here with us. theres no other choice for I wont let them go to a shelter.
Shelters and rescues are totally two different things. they both take animals in but a rescue screens and makes sure its the best place to put this baby. they dont want them ending back up homeless and back in a shelter.
a shelter will take these dogs in but they adopted out to any one and normally do no screening so most of those dogs do end up right back at the shelters. |
