i have worked with shelters, my mom was on the board of directors until she got breast cancer...i started volunteering at 12 stopped before i had my second child

i do not feel part of a problem
there are more problems with the shelters dogs then people who breed and sell...there are the people who are to lazy to not fix and buy 2 mutts to live in the back yard and have an oops..and just drop them off/give them away..there are the people who choose not to adopt, there are the adoption qualifications that hinder people and prices some are fair some are way off base.

i understand and respect the decisions of people who do not approve of breeding, mixing, purchasing instead of adopting...i know there are people who think everyone should adopt and not buy ...but thats a choice people have and make...and the reality is people choose to purchase.

sure i get a little profit...wha hoo..i made $500.00 here and there..then you count in food, vet care, grooming, etc..and really i didnt it all goes back into the dogs..i did purchase a puppy with 2 litters (those are my AKC yorkies)

It just amazes me that you cannot wrap your brain around what I just said to you. Let me put it plain and simple.........
your breeding mixes makes YOU PART OF THE PROBLEM!
