[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you are spouting such negative stereotypes about rescue dogs. My family has two rescue dogs -- yes, small ones -- who have zero aggression and are full of love. There were some challenges, especially at the beginning, as is common (separation anxiety, etc.) but it was worth it. I also know of people who adopted dogs from breeders and ran into problems, including one that was quite serious. And BTW, plenty of dogs who end up at rescues were originally purchased from breeders by people who found that these seemingly perfect dogs weren't as trouble-free as they assumed. Please don't cast such a dim light on rescue dogs because of some bad experiences. The answer is to work with a highly regarded rescue, which may mean being on a waiting list to get the dog that's the right fit (especially if it's a breed-specific rescue). Purchasing dogs from breeders is not the panacea you may think, and puppies are a LOT of work. [/quote] Well said! [/quote]
