My puppy Kiki is the first dog I ever "bought". We've always taken in strays and re-home type situations, so this is definitely something that I struggled with, and to be honest, still struggle with.
I'm not saying I'd never buy another dog....and I'm even considering breeding myself, someday...but it's a hard topic for me.
I am definitely very pro-rescue. We even drove six hours to adopt a GUINEA PIG from a rescue, once. |
