There are many great rescues out there....but there are also a lot of horrible ones as well. If you watch enough of Animal Cops on Animal Planet, you'll see all kinds of hoarders posing as "rescues" and they will have an overpopulation of animals that aren't cared for, living in deplorable conditions. I think some of the people really do think they are doing the right thing for the animals and then it gets out of control...but this particular rescue sounds like a scam.
I've always been the one adopting, not surrendering, but if I were giving up my dog, I would make darn sure it went to a reputable rescue and I would probably want to be involved in the adoption process to make sure my babies got the best home they could. |
