I got Roxy from a "sleddog rescue". I felt like I was rescuing Roxy from the Rescuer herself. I overheard her on the phone while I was there telling someone to put these two dogs to sleep because they had destructive habits. She charged me $250 to adopt Roxy which I thought was a little steep for adoption too. And no, she didn't check into me. I kinda felt like she was rescuing just to make money.
