[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 or don’t spay/neuter and have the adoptee pay.
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]

And you think someone is getting rich doing this?

Notably, if it was you could look at the nonprofit filings and show us an example and it could be shut down for violating the nonprofit rules.

Let me know if you can find a credible rescue that operates anywhere in the dmv on any scale that doesn’t spay and neuter or has a 990 disclosing excessive salaries for staff. [/quote]
