Two of my budgies came from Meijer, one from Walmart. My Rat Terrier came from a breeder (UKC, but she was only $35.) King (GSD) was rescued from a neighbor's. I rescued Trio (orange DSH) from a farm (a day before being sent to the pound.) Jasper (black DSH) was from a rescue. Koli was rescued from the pound. Many other dogs in the past that i saved directly from the streets. Either found their owners or good homes. Almost saved a stray kitty too, but he? disappeared the night before his vet apt.Quote:
