Hey I understand the feeling of wanting to "rescue" a dog from a puppy mill. As you said, every dog deserves to be loved and have a home. You figure, well they are in there already so let me take one and give it a good life. I think your heart is in the right place as I know I would want to take every one of them out of their cages and give them a chance.
I think what everyone is trying to say that for every dog that is sold in one of those places they breed another one to take its place. So what do we do?
How do we stop it? I wish I had the answer.
Just an fyi there are a lot of really nice yorkies that are put up for adoption due to aging caretakers, babies being born, a move etc. These dogs need someone right away, even more than most because they go from loving homes to being in a rescue and don't understand why they are there and what they did. They have their shots, are healthy and most are already potty trained. I got my 1 year old from a great breeder that breeds for show. She decided she didn't have the temperament for show so decided to adopt her out. She is a wonderful dog who is such part of our family now. She is so happy and has a completely different life than she did a year ago. There are many that post on here that put their healthy pups up for adoption.
Please take the other posters advice and offer to help you find the right pup. I would love to hear your success story and I know that you will love your new healthy baby like we do ours. |
