lately i have been searching for a puppy for my friend after she fell in love with my Oscar. She is such a wonderful person and animal lover and after her cat of 6 years just passed i knew that it would be a great time to bring some more love into her life. well unfortunately we've pulled together only 500.00 dollars. so i get online and start contacting the local breeders (within 350 miles) and am calling and emailing them to see if they have a little girl available and if they have one that they would take 500.00 dollars for. i start looking through the responses and am getting discouraged b/c no one has a female and those that do, cant do anywhere close to 500.00. then i open up this email and it says : NO GET ONE FROM THE POUND.
i was so embarrased and humiliated! not only do i check the pound and local rescues everyday for puppies and dogs that need homes... but how can they think that they are too good to even send me a civilized response? im not crazy i know how much these dogs are worth... but every once and awhile you get lucky and find one that needs a home and fits your price range. Oscar cost me only shipping b.c he had a hernia and was the runt. my friend isnt concerned with pedigree and all that jazz she just wants a little girl to love. im just really disappointed in the way this breeder has turned giving loving families a puppy to love into a snotty arrogant way to make money.
whew.. thanks for listening... by the way.. anyone know a good breeder near va???
thanks!
