I'm not sure they're bad ppl, but very misguided and misinformed.

Goldens, Labs, Poodles, Doodles; you can find any dog you want at a shelter.  Every minute, thousands of lovely dogs are killed because they don't have a home.  Lovely dogs with lovely personalities just waiting for someone to notice them.  We've had 2 rescued young Yorkies, both were lovely and friendly.  I'd rather search for months for a rescue than go to a breeder.  Our rescue Yorkie came from a "breeder"; a backyard breeder who was in over her head, and thankfully, reported to authorities.  I'm sure she also shipped her dogs, but she can't anymore because she served time:)[/quote]

2000 dogs killed per minute x 60 minutes per hour x 24 hours per day x 365 days per year equals 1051200000 dogs killed per year? You are off by three orders of magnitude. [/quote]

Don't let facts get in the way of great hyperbole.  [/quote]

And don't let your checkbook get in the way of believing that you have a superior dog.[/quote]

Actually, I've only ever had rescues.  I just don't think outright lying about the availability or euthanasia rates of shelter dogs helps anyone.  It makes pro-rescue folks seem out of touch with reality and easy to dismiss.

Are too many shelter animals euthanized?  Yes but not on the order of thousands a minute.  Do many have lovely personalities?  Sure but many don't and many come with emotional scars that will never go away.  [/quote]
