I know it is a tough call on some of these situations and I don't always agree with how some of the rescue's operate but some people are willing to take these challenges on...I would. Now in this case I don't know what their adoption process is really like and while I wish they could do a home visit for every dog (maybe they have volunteers in many states who will) I just realize it can't always be done the perfect way...which is to bad but I am guessing it is a choice of dogs dying or dogs finding homes..might not be good homes..sadly.
There is a big puppy mill rescue in Colorado Springs but this is their headquarters and they have foster homes all around Missouri, Iowa etc..puppymill states..I have seen their cars on the highways transferring dogs (they have a big sign on their car) but I don't know much about them.
I will tell you it has only been the last 4 or 5 years that I have started to see all of these piss poor breeders using the name "rescue" to sell their dogs on puppyfind etc. I think in the past they could sell ice to an eskimo and were making $$$ hand overfist. Now that the economy took a hit we are now seeing this happening time after time using the name rescue.
I can see where you came to your conclusion  but you almost have to take a situation case by case. People should be aware puppymill dogs may have behavorial issues and it is not a place to buy a cheap dog but then neither is any rescue. I can only say, shame on people if they don't do their homework. This is a big part of the problem weather you are buying a new puppy or a rescue.. |
I just checked again and the 100 "designer dogs" that are coming to Chicago on Friday are from that mill bust.
It makes me insane how some of these mills are now using Petfinder as a sneaky way to peddle their dogs. Goes to show just how low they will sink to make a buck
