[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 dogs, both were adopted from rescues, and I refer to each as a "rescue" but for different reasons.

I call my mutt a "rescue" because it tends to head off the inevitable "What is she???" questions because she's really beautiful. The answer is "She's a dog" and there isn't much more to it than that.

My second dog is a toy poodle, and I mention her status as a rescue because she suffered horribly in a puppy mill and many poodles are in that situation because of the doodle craze, and I don't want anyone thinking I bought her.  [/quote]

Why don't you just call your mutt a mutt? It is a very common, accepted term. Person -- "What is she?" You -- "She's just a mutt. We think she might have a little sheltie in there, but who knows! We love her."

Regarding your poodle, [b]you are clearly virtue signaling. Y[/b]ou "don't want anyone thinking [you] bought her"? I mean, feel free to explain her horrible past life, but you can also just say nothing at all. [/quote]

I don't think you know what "virtue signaling" means. [/quote]
