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. |
There are a lot of pet flippers as you pointed out. Some, are just making a buck. Some, legitimately use the funds to run a rescue. It's sometimes difficult to tell the two apart.
