[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We adopted our three dogs (from the same litter) VERY easily from a rescue in Greenville, SC. They typically rescue small dogs from kill shelters and they always have super cute dogs (and also cats) available. This group transports them to the Northern VA area and other states along the East Coast. Just an FYI for anyone looking for an easier, and cheaper, adoption!

Wow, this organization is precisely the poster child for the NYT article cited in the OP about slightly sketch organizations that move animals from the South to the bleeding-heart-liberal East Coast cities.

It's interesting, isn't it, how ALL of this organization's available dogs just happen to be young/puppy, and fluffy, and small? And they're all cross breeds like Maltese+Poodle, Shih Tzu+Yorkie, Papillon+Chihuahua?  Gosh, I [i]wonder[/i] how that coincidence happened?!? [/quote]

Perhaps you should put a little effort into your research before disparaging a group based on your cursory look at their Facebook page.  Of course there are shady organizations, but that doesn't mean that every single rescue is buying puppies from a mill or doing something sketchy.  "All" the dogs are not cross breeds and not "all" are young, fluffy, or small.  They do tend to take smaller dogs more frequently (as it's easier to care for small animals than large ones), but they also have larger dogs and ones that have suffered injuries or have significant health issues.  They also rescue cats and other animals.  This organization works with reputable rescues/shelters in South Carolina and does many local adoptions as well.

While I don't work for this group or feel personally offended, I do think it unfair to slander a rescue with unfounded accusations.     [/quote]
