Not sure what you mean by a catch 22?
Sure the dog deserves better and could have had better in most cases if not for the greed or irresponsibility of the person who decided to bring him/her into this world and then pass them on to someone who was ill prepared.
Of course it starts before rescue...that is why there IS rescue. I totally love that some states there are no small dogs to be found. A dream of mine in an idealistic world would be no reason for shelters or rescues at all.
