are you SERIOUS? how are you going to tell someone they should get a dog from a rescue or a shelter when you obviously bypassed those places and paid a pretty penny for your dog!
i'm sorry, but if you love a dog - you love it - "mutt" or not! should someone pay a zillion times the price for a "mutt"? probably not - but when you want to start preaching about all the poor animals in need of homes - stop and think about where YOU got YOUR animal. |
Well, I don't know who you are refering to. I posted on that thread and yes did in fact suggest if she looks for a second dog to try a rescue or a shelter as there are quite a few mixed pups or designer pups as they were now given a fancy name. And, NO I didn't pay a pretty penny for my Yorkies. I adopted ALL of mine, all but one, including my mixed up pup (What they now call a Morkie). I don't find it unreasonable to suggest looking into rescue or a shelter. I suggest this with pure breeds as well as mixed breeds. The shelters and rescues are bombarded with both right now. People are losing their homes or are unable to afford their pets now, due to the economy and sadly their pets are ending up in already over crowded rescues and shelters. Some kill shelters where they are only given a week if they are lucky before they are gassed. Not humanely euthanized, but gassed. So, no I don't feel bad with what I wrote in that thread.
