Rosie was given to me from my Sister in Law who was a breeder at the time. She came to me in perfect health and condition. No complaints there at all. I didn't pay anything for her except the cost of having her spay and final shots at the vet. They were planning on keeping her to breed but decided that they would give her to me instead. Oh my God I am so glad they did. She is the light of my life. I love her so much. She was in the house with them but I have turned her into a little diva.
Mikki was purchased/rescued in my opinion. Yes I paid for her but at the same time I felt like I rescued her from her prior life and future life. I bought her at a cheap price. I felt she was rescued because 1) she was not spayed and at 3 1/2 lb I was fearful someone would want to breed her and 2) she was not living the best life in the world. She was dirty and starving for attention. Her owner loved her I think but other significant others in the family didn't feel the same way. We feel that she has been hit in her previous life. She was terrified of men. Well, until she met my DH who adores her! So yes, I think I rescued her. Now, we are working really hard on making her a diva too!
