I hoped the rescue vs breeder questions/lectures would stop after Lola stopped looking like a puppy, but it still happens regularly.

I tried to rescue, but unless you want a bully breed or a cat it's nearly impossible in my area. There are small breed rescues, but it's extremely hard to get approved, the wait is years long, and most of the dogs are over 10 years old. I love old dogs, but I just can't go through that right now. I've had 4 dogs live to be 14-18.

I'm getting really sick of being asked, it's no ones business. I'm looking for a good way to shut the question down without having to explain my reasons, listen to them lecture me or pat themselves on the back.
I wish small shelter dogs from the south would get sent here, but it just doesn't happen enough.

A family member was willing to drive from NJ to TX to pick up 2 10 year old siblings the rescue wanted to keep together, but they don't allow long distance adoptions.
