We are looking at getting a dog. I would like a fairly young dog, puppy if possible and rescue just feels the right way to go.
I came on here a while back and was advised to look at various agencies in Greece and Spain. I was looking in detail yesterday and the sight of all of these thin hungry dogs needing homes is heartbreaking.
I have now found out that some? many? of these organisations are disreputable and are making money by transporting sick dogs (from in the case I just read) Serbia, getting them Romanian passports) and faking health records, basically trafficking stray sick animals illegally and for profit - so just as bad as the puppy farms we want to avoid completely.
Does anyone know where I can find out more, or whether there is some kind of registration that can help avoid supporting this trade?
