This solution does not sit well with many animal-lovers and the people who work with animals.dog adoption

A remarkable number of people who have adopted say that their chosen dog stood out like a sore thumb. A mill, on the other hand, breeds dogs for money. Costs can be high, as a number of dogs require expensive surgical care to rehabilitate injuries like fractures or ligament damage which have ended their careers.dog adoption

Rescues that make a concerted effort to save dogs from euthanasia at shelters are more people friendly and understand that their first goal needs to be getting these animals into loving homes. These otherwise wonderful dogs may be dumped at a shelter or abandoned by the owner or a family member.
