In the past I had always been a part of the use the local humane society or rehome. I had also done a rescue myself and ended up keeping him until he passed away. I am well known by my vet as always taken in the injured and getting them on their feet until I could find them a home. These animals must know a softie from miles away because they would just show up and what do you do, call the humane society? If it's a cat chances are pretty high it would be put to sleep. But I could always find a home.
Most recently and very unexpeditely Phoebe passed away. She was given to me by the people that I puppy sat her for. She was a yorkie and they gotten her at the pet store. When they got her she had PARVO they did not know it, they bought her because they thought she was cute. But after 1 year realized that she did not fit in life style.
Long story shortened.....right after her death I said to my family that is it no more animals. 2 days later I decide I really need another. I knew that I really wanted another yorkie. I started researching. I actually looked at rescue first. Truthfully for me I won't do that after what I saw. Most of the dogs I saw all had serious health problems. On some of these dogs the rescue had already spent over $3000 in vet bills on one yorkie and they still needed on going medical. Medical seemed to be the majority of why they were with the rescue. Some had been abused and neglected but those numbers appeared to be way lower than the ones that had medical issues. It has been my expericance in the past that you can bring back a neglected dog, but one that has been abused they usually never really come back.
You honestly do not know what you are getting when you rescue, the same could also be said about getting a new puppy.
I chose to find a breeder and that I have. I have probably driven her nuts with all of my questions and such. I also had my vet involved in this and contacted her vet. But at least she knows that her puppy will be going to a good home.
