[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of our "rescue" dogs is from one of these shady operations.  Designer mix puppy, only 10 weeks old, "rescued" from an Amish breeder.  The issue wasn't on my radar at the time, but in hindsight it seems obvious.  Our second rescue is from City Dogs and came with a good amount of information about her history.  [/quote]

A lot of rescue dogs are hunting breeds who were part of a hunting pack for the fall and then released for the winter so they don’t have to feed them. Also - lots of pit bulls or just bad backyard creations. These dogs don’t always make good family dogs. 
How is buying a puppy mill dog for a very small amount at an auction supporting a puppy mill? I’m sure that it doesn’t support their efforts very much or cover their costs. 
I know that many purebred dogs with docked tails are found wandering the street sometimes so they were either puppy mill dogs or backyard breeder dogs that were not purchased. Should they have been put to sleep instead? Would that make the WaPo happier?[/quote]
