re: Adopting Rescues vs Buying from a Breeder

Reputable breeders are fine, it is often hard to know the difference between that and a puppy mill. That being said if new pets were 80% rescue and 20% breeders that would solve much of the overpopulation problem. People should also know there are many breed specific rescues out there. I have a pure bred blue Cane Corso that I got from Cane Corso Rescue out of Austin...when I lived in La. Had her for 6 years now and best dog I have ever had. If you want breed specific look all around the country, many will help facilitate the transport. The Cane Coral Rescue I deal with has dogs all over the country and volunteers make,a,chain from point A to point B to get dogs to new adopters. They have gotten dogs from Florida to Maine and from Pennsylvania to Utah. There are options to get great breed specific dogs from rescues if you do the research.
