My first rescue was simply a spree purchase by a person who later realized a dog was too much effort, the puppy cuteness wore off and the behavioral issues were no longer "cute" of course training was out of the question that would have taken effort...turned out to be a great dog that took very little effort to train in the end.
I do have a pup mill rescue but not all rescues are.
