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. |
I recently joined a rescue because of a pregnant dog I pulled off the streets so that I could be involved in every adoption and so far 4 out of my 7 pups have been adopted into loving homes. I find that being a foster is very rewarding in that aspect. I've become friends with the new owners and get updates and photos of the pups. You said it "Hoarders". It takes a lot of time and dedication to find homes for these animals. Hats off to the rescues and shelters that do it the right way!!! I could have given away 20 pups in the last 2 weeks but our screening process is very strick and I like it that way!
