+1  These threads are so strange.  [i]I'm allergic to dogs and my kid is terrified of them - help me pick a dog! [/i] [/quote]
For what it's worth, my kid is NOT terrified of dogs, just a highly anxious personality that would not pair well with an anxious dog. But I guess nobody thinks my husband and children, who really want a dog, should get one because I"m allergic, so oh well![/quote]

I disagree. If you’re willing to travel to NJ, there’s a good foster org called Who Rescued Who? They have a Facebook group you can join and they have dogs you could foster before committing. They seem to have a fair number of puppies and pure breeds too (rescues from mills, I assume )if that’s your thing. Gl! [/quote]

They buy them! They buy them from “mills” at auctions and then sell them to you as “rescues” and everyone goes home happy. What do you think is happening, they’re storming the puppy mills with rifles and flying the puppies out by helicopter? Do you imagine that rescues buying dogs from breeders (or mills, whatever, but obviously the rescue can call whatever they want a “mill”) is doing anything except supporting those same breeders in the long run?

All that’s happening there is that the “adopt don’t shop” campaign has turned the market against “breeder” dogs and created a stigma, but not everyone wants a pit/hound shipped up from the South, but if you can have the same f-ing dog and tell your friends it’s a “rescue” then everyone is happy.

Here is a story about this from 2018, and yet the PP just waltzes about her life clicking on Facebook puppies and parroting the BS about “mill rescues” and never stopping to think twice.

The dog rescue people remind me of no one so much as the March for Life people. People love being sanctimonious when they don’t have to think hard about it.

Link, sorry https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/investigations/dog-auction-rescue-groups-donations/[/quote]

Wow, one whole story from six years ago. That must mean all rescues are suspect![/quote]

You’re right, this New Jersey outfit with no website and whole litters of designer breed puppies for “adoption” is probably picking them up from alleys somewhere. [/quote]

I'm about to blow your mind: that one rescue in New Jersey is not the only rescue out there.[/quote]
