[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering why so many people who rescue dogs refer to them as rescues for years and years after the adoption.  My neighbor rescued an awesome dog about 7 years ago, and she still refers to him as her rescue dog when talking about him in casual conversation.  It seems that in the past ten years, no one ever says they adopted a dog any more, it's always "I rescued a dog."  I love all dogs, but can't figure out the reason for always having to tell everyone a dog is a rescue.[/quote]

Virtue signaling. Are you really so dense that you don’t understand this?[/quote]

So cynical.  I didn't adopt to virtue signal.  And even if some people did what they are doing is a good thing![/quote]

It isn’t the act of adopting that’s the virtue signaling. It’s the incessant calling attention to the act. Do try to keep up. [/quote]

I'm the pp.  How is telling someone that the dog is adopted or rescued a 'virtue' signaling when you are just answering the question?  I adopt and would like to see more people adopt.  So by saying my dog is a rescue I hope that people say 'hey, this isn't a flawed dog with problems maybe next time I will adopt.

I don't get why anyone is upset with this and try to make it into a bad thing.  After all there are many people who go to breeders because they think rescue dogs are not worthy of love or inferior.   And don't kid yourself there are many many bad breeders out there that people unknowingly buy from!  [/quote]
