I was not able to adopt the dog myself at the time (I had too many dogs according to this rescue) But they did find him an excellent home. That Lab lived to be 15 ! I exchanged email and pictures with the couple that adopted him. |
I think they are referring to the fact that the breeder sold her puppy to a 17 year old female who couldn't care for him. I didn't get the impression from anyone that the breeder wasn't reputable because the dog ended up needing to be rescued..she isn't reputable just because the rescue was due to who she sold him to.....
