There's plenty of good dogs, if not better, in the shelter for as low as $15, plus you save a life and a soul.
I'm not here to criticize or judge, and I don't have anything against responsible breeders, but I find it hurtful that you would not get a dog from a shelter, ever. And the other animals you get from the shelter, you'll rehome? You can get purebred puppies from shelters too, not just breeders.
I'm not trying to start an argument. But I've worn myself ragged over the years devoting myself to the shelters and rescue groups here. I've had relationships suffer, school grades suffer, and my health suffer due to how hard I'm trying to get these poor homeless animals into homes. Its just disheartening to keep hearing about people letting their animals have babies, etc etc etc. Blah, I'm going way off topic now.
I agree with both of these posts.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
