I have had rescue dogs from puppy mills. They have all been seized from the puppy mills by the authorities and turned over to rescue groups.
The puppy mills did not get any money for them - they were the ones who had to pay heavy fines or even jail time.
But some rescue dogs are dogs that the owners have turned over to rescue because for one reason or another they were no longer able to care for them.
Some rescue dogs are also what rescue groups have saved from deaths door at the animal shelters.
