[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have said it for a long time, modern day rescues are like puppy mills. You’re buying a dog from the rescue.

I see rescues shipping in dogs from other states or other countries when we have dogs in our local areas that need help. That’s when I know they’re in it for the money and tax breaks. After all, how else can they write off their homes, farms and homesteads as tax deductible? [/quote]
Stop with that nonsense.
Rescues are run by dedicated people, and heavily rely on volunteers. There are much easier and stink-free ways of making money. [/quote]

Step 1: spend lots of money and time collecting dogs without homes
Step 2: spend lots of money and time neutering/spaying those dogs and giving them basic veterinary care
Step 3: spend lots of money transporting those dogs, publicizing those dogs and screening applicants for those dogs
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Profit![/quote]

1. Ask for donations.
2. Request more donations[b] or don’t spay/neuter and have the adoptee pay.[/b]
3. More fundraising
4. Ask for donations of food and supplies. (That’s what you forgot)
5. I get to write off my house and my farm! [/quote]
Bolded won't fly:
- keeping unaltered dogs of unknown age is risky, might end up with unwanted puppies and extra vet bills
- unaltered male dogs (especially pits)in shelter/boarding is a recipe for disaster (fights -> more vet bills & possible legal issues for injury)
- finding fosters would be a problem as well, see p.2

Oh, and good luck asking for donations claiming you're saving unwanted doggies while not neutering sexually mature animals [/quote]
