Thank you Debbie! Yes to add to your comment, I would be absolutely offended if a person that I placed one of my own dogs with, said that they had rescued it from me, the breeder. That really brings me down to a level with the byb and millers that produce puppies without a care or concern for their ultimate well being. I alway take the best interest of my dogs into consideration when placing them. Regardless if I ask for a set $$ or in my older dogs, ask for the cost of their altering, they are never rescued from me.
I also do rescue/foster/transport and currently have a dog that we adopted from a legit GSD rescue. So many so called rescues out there, that yes, rescue seems to have taken on a life of it's own and has lost some respect with some breeds. Like those that go out and "save" dogs from the auctions and then claim that they rescued them. In some aspects yes, but in many it only provides funds for the seller to produce more. Rescue is a vital force when not abused and many of us have seen the happy and the sad end of this mission.
Once again, it seems that we all need to be more careful how we refer to items on this list.
