You have to be a pretty unethical person to BUY a dog, but if you're going to go that route, at least get a purebred.

You buy a dog from a shelter or rescue too.

No, you literally don't.

You might make a donation, but no one is making a profit, and so no one has an incentive to create more unwanted dogs. If you keep buying dogs, breeders will keep churning them out, and we already have too many dogs.

Agreed. My $100 fee got my dog neutered, pain meds for 3 days , up to date vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment (1 month), heartworm test and heartworm prevention (1 month) and a haircut. I don't feel like I paid for the dog. I don't feel like I paid enough to cover the services either. The $100 seems like a token to ensure that you value your new animal enough to pay something towards their care.

If that is what you want to do good for you!

Your opinion. I think you are wrong. What are you going to do about me having an opinion?

A donation is paying. Call it what you want it’s still buying a dog. Breeder dogs are generally not the shelter dogs.

You still bought your dog. Mine from the breeder had vaccines, etc.

Please don't support this irresponsible breeder. Having several puppies availability immediately is a huge red flag, not to mention breeding "micro mini" dogs.

Dogs have multiple puppies at once on the regular

Correct, but responsible breeders plan for this and have dogs spoken for. Puppy mills breed their dogs every chance they get and end up with a constant stream of puppies/dong available all the time.

NP. The above poster is right (generally speaking). We had to wait 5 months for our dog. Brother had to wait about the same for his lab. Most breeders try to align supply and demand, and therefore have wait lists which can range from 3 months to a year. It's true, however, that sometimes people on the list decide otherwise when their name comes up, or already got another puppy, so its not unusual for their to be 1-2 unspoken for pups from a large liter. But as PP mentions, it is often a red flag for a breeder to readily have several puppies available at any given time.

And is probably not a pit bull. If all the "rescuing" didn't happen in this country maybe pit bulls would die out or at least be as abundant

My rescue dog isn't a pit bull, not that it matters, but he's a standard poodle cross, a pit would not have needed a haircut. People pay breeders for Apbt, Am Staff, American bulldogs etc too. The incentive to breed them is profit as much as with any other dog. The difference on the way the fee is structured at the shelter vs at the breeder is
inconsequential, I suppose, but, nobody made a profit on my dog.

Many rescue dogs come with baggage and other issues. If people were better matched vs. being pushing into what ever one is available at the shelter, maybe there would not be as many shelter returns and dogs in shelters. Yes, the rescue or shelter made a profit as they got the dog for free and donations/grants to care for that dog. It should have been free to you.

It was a county/municipal shelter they don't make a profit, taxpayers fund it. They do apply for and receive grants, but they are generally targeted funds. You should be happy that people adopt and pay a fee since it does at least marginally reduce your tax burden. The vast majority of shelter dogs don't have any major issues and are certainly no more problematic than a backyard breeder/puppy mill dog. Every dog needs training, socialization and medical care.

Many dogs end up as "rescues" because their previous owners had no idea how to raise the adorable little puppy they bought, sometimes on a whim. Maybe there wouldn't be as many shelter dogs if people realized that there's no magical breed of dog that trains itself, and that their untrained/improperly-trained/insufficiently-trained whateverbreed is a potential liability.

Dogs aren't born with "baggage and other issues" (even if the pit bull hater tries to convince you otherwise). They got those things from owners who probably should've gotten a cat or a turtle or a book on how to raise puppies/train dogs.

Most dogs come from rescues and shelters who should provide support.
