Well, I really wanted to get a rescue dog (oh there was the cutest puppy mill rescue mommy) but the rescue place insisted on contacting our landlord to see if he was okay with it. Our lease agreement at the time did not allow us to have pets, but our landlord had said 'what I don't know won't hurt me.' And that's how we ended up at the breeder. Had we gotten "caught" with pets at our old place and were told to get rid of them or vacate, we would have found another place to live. However, we were "unqualified." We have moved into a pet friendly place since then, but we already have Mia. I wish the rescue place could have trusted us, but I can understand their point of view too.
