Not all rescue pups come with issues, either. Scarlett, her mom and littermates, were surrendered due to the flooding in TN. Oliver was picked up by the rescue he came from because he was too small to survive being shipped off to a pet store- so the rescue drove 10 hours to bring him back to Atlanta to keep him from being put down.
It just comes down to the fact that there really is zero reason for supporting a BYB when you are looking for either a purebred or a mix. |
Great stories about those little furbabies...glad they have wonderful homes. I agree with you about zero reasons for supporting BYB. But, unfortunately we can't stop them they will always be out there and people will find them one way or another. Education is the key and I do understand everyone's thoughts and concerns. I just know that my DH and I are so happy we have Lexi in our life and we are gratiful for the lady that bred her mommy & daddy
P.S. I really do appreciate all of your knowledge...I have learned alot from this post.
