"Saving" dogs from the shelter only supports irresponsible breeders who allowed their puppies to end up there. I support responsible owner/breeder education and free spay/neuter programs. I support purebred dog breeders. I thank God for them.
This "savior" mentality hasn't helped reduce the numbers of unwanted dogs in this country. Spay/neuter programs work. Make it easy and cheap. Support it with your tax dollars.

wait a second...what are you talking about??? Saving dogs from shelters only supports breeders?
Saving a dog from the rescue supports the RESCUE so they can SAVE more dogs from the irresponsible breeders - no money is exchanging hands between the breeders and the rescues. It also saves dogs from going to the pound where they will more than likely be put to sleep!
That is probably one of the most ignorant statements I have ever heard!
