well I just believe in the save a life theory
I believe that too, but I also believe that certain breeds (or mixes of certain breeds) do fit better with some people's lifestyles then others, and really, that should play a part. I think if people would first think about what size/temperament/etc. they want in a dog, there'd be less dogs in shelters right now.

When I was going to get a dog I wanted a siberian husky....and only a siberian husky. It was my dream to have that breed of dog, and I had researched them and felt they were the right dog for me. I guess you can all stone me now for feeling that way.

For my next dog I'm hoping to get a rescue dog...but once again, it'd most likely be a siberian husky.
