True!! Very True!!!!

I found both of mine on www.petfinder.com

Sierra came from a GSD rescue and Buddy was at a local kill shelter.

I got Lassie and Princess from a pet store. Baby Bear is from a breeder :)

My cats:
Amber (RB) - foundling
Sparkle - city pound
Vita - city pound
Chestnut - foundling
Dazzle (RB)- foundling
Ruffles - elderly woman with 2 cts moving into senior housin, where they only allowed one pet. She was sitting crying at the senior center the week before Thanksgiving, as she couldn't find a home and was having the cat PTS the next day.
Cuddles - city pound
Crystal - foundling
Ebony - failed foster

My fish are from PetCo, or PetSmart.

Tigger (Schneiders Skink) is from a pet store. They weren't really breeding in captivity much when I got her in '95
Oslo (rabbit) is from a show rabbitry. (My 4-H leader's mom co-owns it)
Niño is from the Anti Cruelty Society. (SPCA Chicago)
My Nuria (calf) was from a family farm an hour away but I sold her back to him.

Jasper is from the shelter. Hazel and Chubby are from a small, privately-owner pet store I used to work in that takes great pride in the care it gives its animals. Liberty was my boyfriend's mom's classroom pet until the school decided ot ban classroom pets.

The first two dogs when i was born i have no idea where Dad got them from. The fishies came from Meijer and Ocean Odyssey. The newts came from OO. 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.

Both of my dogs & my cat are from rescue. =)
