Wow what happened to this thread?

well here is my 2 cents, walked in and still not impressed with the salt water section. you can tell they rushed it. numberious species and over populated tanks, clowns fighting, so on and so forth. once again its a last resort place and to buy cheap tanks, thats it.

as for backyard breeding, i would gladly save a life of a dog rather than have it put down. i try not to think that things like that happen but it does. as for a rescue being $400, thats cause they are fixed and up to date with shots. pet stores don't make money on them, just to pay the vet bills and give the dog an oppertunity for a good home

I've got two rescues that ran mid 200s for fixed and shots - I know some rescues use the funds to cover additional care... Others - well - I can think of a few who seem to be getting a lil big for their britches and need to get their heads outta their tookuses... You're not going to find someone to rescue that mutt if you can get a papered brindle bulldog for less from a puppymill

I knew you'd come over to the dark side eventually

I don't wanna sound snotty - some of the rescues do fantastic work... But some have forgotten where they come from as ego's grew; and some are now almost as bad as puppy mills...

Yes, I presume you are talking about the "so called rescue" going on in some pet stores.

The dog rescues I support, some Canadian, some US are not at all about making money, just trying to cover the vet costs, spaying/neutering, etc.

I can think of several southern alberta organizations We visited many last year when we finding our pepper - and I started to think most were run by crazy cat ladies (who had cat ownership bans - albeit they all had cats too...).
