I have always adopted my puppies/dogs from animal shelters and rescue home shelters and have never had a problem. I recently rescued 2 yorkie puppies and they are now almost 11 weeks old and are a tremendous joy! I also have a rat terrier and she just turned 7 years old. I encourage people to adopt from animal and local rescue shelters. I have done it now for 35 years.
I disagree sorry whilst there are many dogs and puppies needing homes not every one wants a shelter dog i bought a Shih tzu puppy from a reputable breeder because i wanted a genetically sound puppy that’s parents had been health tested shown and offered me a guarantee for life
I did adopt a dog from a shelter and 2 years later and £6,000 later he was sadly put to sleep i don’t regret for for 1 min of adopting him just could not go through the heartache and seeing my dog in pain again it just about destroyed me He had so many things wrong with him and needed many operations and was always on pain medication that i was not prepared to do that again the puppy i have got it genetically sound
You know very little about shelter dogs there pedigree there genetics and i think its great people do give them homes but sadly i wont again because of what i went through when you have been through what i have with a dog and i loved that dog he was part of my family and it broke my heart i could never ever go through that again even know typing this it makes me upset just thinking about him
Every one has the right to buy or adopt and i really don’t agree with your statement sorry
with your e-mail and phone.
