A colleague of mine recently told me she has always wanted a particular breed of dog. Of course, I launched into my usual speech about how so many purebred dogs languish in shelters. I noted that one of our co-workers had adopted the very breed she wanted just a few months ago from Brother Wolf. She was very keen to adopt from a rescue group if she could.
I also mentioned the American Kennel Club (AKC) website: akc.org. On their website, you can find information about specific breeds, breeders, and breed-specific rescue groups.
I would love it if everyone would adopt from a rescue group. However, I understand that some people want to adopt a puppy of a specific breed from a specific breeder. If you are one of those people, please do a little research. Don’t go to a pet store or a backyard breeder. They are people out there who truly love the breed and promote responsible practices. Spend wisely.
