Well, IMO it would be best if you were part of a rescue when you are pulling dogs out of a shelter. You never know the medical bills that you might be faced with and it could be a huge stain on an individual. A legitimate rescue has a support system in place that would guide you when it came type to rehome a pup. In addition, a rescue would have certain things in place that would ensure that any dog they rehomed would never be homeless again. There is usually a contract that is signed, background check on applicants, home visit etc to ensure that the dog is going to a really good home. These things are sometimes hard for an individual to do without a support system. If you would like to be a member of a rescue all you need to do it apply. There are so many dogs that need home, are surrendered, at kill shelters any one that could possibly be part of a rescue would be greatly appreciated.
Picking up dogs from shelters and then rehoming them is mostly breaking the contract that you sign when you adopted them from the shelter. This is not something that rescues really like to see happening. When a dog goes to a rescue these is different paperwork that is filled out.
