YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Oh okay I have no idea what anyone paid as that is not a question I ask, nor one here in Toronto folks volunteer. And because I am not interested in where anyone got their dog from (unless it is a Yorkie or a BRT) I don't ask that either. They could have got their dogs from places like you listed - although there are more than a few I am quite certain came from good breeders as they are really well configured and match the standard(s) as I know them.

My cousin got one of her dogs because her ex boyfriend's acquaintance was like 2 months pregnant and she had to get rid of the dog that weekend because of the baby. The woman was close to 40. My cousin had to drop everything to drive over 3 hours each way to get him. Poor thing was covered in fleas and obviously mistreated. Some people are just looking for an excuse to get rid of their dog. Quote:
My neighbor bought her dog in Lancaster PA from a puppy mill, he's small and a mixed breed, I think she paid $500. Honestly it terrifies me that it's so easy to get a bully breed here and so hard/expensive to get anything else. Not all bully breeds are bad, but it's still concerning. I'm also right between Camden, Philly, and Trenton, so I'd say a lot of these dogs are related to fighting or guard dogs. Apparently it's not hard to get one from a shelter either, my neighbor has a mix with some pit bull in her, she's a very nice dog but they're awful owners and I'm afraid she's going to snap one day. She's already proven to be animal aggressive, she killed their cat. Anyway the owner has 2 kids, 1 is severely autistic, neither is good with animals. Their past dogs were kept in small kennels 90% of the time (this one isn't), their last one hung herself (tethered, jumped over fence), and their pets get minimal vet care. They have no business having a dog, or a cat. | |||

If they are in a great foster home, it isn't sad at all. We let our fosters know that they could have a pup for some time....and if that is an issue then they don't foster that pup. My fosters live in my home and are treated just like my own pups. So, if they don't get adopted, it really is not a bad thing. It does hold up a foster opening, but our policy is to care for them as long as it takes. Some groups won't take in older or sick pups because they don't want that situation. Each group is different.
