[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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!

I guarantee those super cute and small puppies came from a puppy mill. From mill to shelter from shelter to shelter to finally DC. [/quote]

Why on earth would a puppy mill go through the time, expense and trouble to breed puppies only to give them away to rescue shelters who then spay and neuter them?  That would make zero sense.

What happens is people find strays, don't spay/neuter them and then those dogs have puppies. Rinse, repeat.  Rescues spay and neuter their animals.  When a stray is brought in the animal is vaccinated, dewormed if necessary and spayed/neutered.  That is what your adoption fee helps to cover.[/quote]
The shelters buy those animals from puppy mills at auctions. That is what your adoption fee helps to cover (and the transport from state to state). It's a total scam.[/quote]

Please don't paint all rescue organizations with this broad brush.  There are many reputable rescues out there whose volunteers work more tirelessly than you know.

Become a volunteer and you will see what I'm talking about.  I've done some fairly light work (by comparison) with a rescue group and I have spent my own money on food, toys, cleaning products for those animals.  Most volunteers donate both their money and time; many open up their homes to these animals.  They operate on a shoestring tight budget and are some of the most frugal people I have ever met.  They really know how to stretch a dollar to give the greatest benefit possible to the animals in their care.[/quote]
