Yes, and the rescues around me are really starting to tick people off. They plaster "adopt don't shop" everywhere, and its offensive to those that buy from good breeders. They are against you buying a dog period, yet all they are doing is cleaning up after backyard breeders and idiots that recklessly breed their pets.
Our local shelter is full of mainly pit mixes and a few other mid to large breed mixes. We've had one yorkie there in the past three years. And unspayed female who was quickly scooped up by a local "rescue" whose head proudly announced that she bought her for $75 and sold her the next day for $300.
who knows where that poor girl ended up. "Rescues" around here are nothing more than pet flippers trying to make $$ of dogs, and in my opinion are no better than the bybs and puppymills they purport to be against.
