Share this, let's get rid of breeders once and for all, (add whatever you want).. 'A good Rescue centre will study their dogs and cats, whether it be by the staff or the foster furparents, (Dog's trust and Many Tears Rescue do this) they can tell a prospective owner whether the dog/cat they'd like to adopt is good with other dogs, cats, kids or is best as the only pet is the house, would a breeder do that, my arse would they. The Romanian rescues do not generally carry out securiity checks or ask if you work all day (which is a good thing of course but can deter folks who live in flats from approaching them), my son and DIL have a gorgeous dog from such a charity (these don't have actual charity status but that's what they are) I've had a stand off with a breeder over the orchards near me, who considered herself 'caring and responsible', when I confronted her with the stuff I've put here she had no defence and slung her hook'.
