I have a rescue I got from the pound.
He barely passed the adoptability requirements I knew the adoption cordonator from an antichin farm rescue group.
I beleive in rescue whole heartidly to this day. I do NOT regret adopting scoobers, hes the best NOW after hundreds on trainers behaviorist and meds plus months years of learning on the cuff about so much.
Scoobers was dumped by a pup mill, while psychically healthy he is still very psychologically damaged...he was only 5 months when we got him.
When we decided to adopt again we bought a yorkie from a private greeder. My mistake but again no regrets we love Elvis, with his arthritus, epilepsy and neurological and psycological damage.
If adopting again I'd go to a responsible breeder for a puppy.
Nothing wrong with that, pet stores, pup mills BYBs and greeders are the problem in conjunction with irrisponsible pet owners.
Okay I lie, I think rescue is just for us or we'd take a breeders rehomed. I'm now pewpared and aware of the needs of rescues.
However I'd never fault anyone for buying from a responsible breeder...fault the irrisponsible breeders and pet owners please. |
