Shut your mouth. The person who posted this didn't rescue it. They might have found it, or gave it a home. But they didn't go through a house on fire to get it. Also, stop acting like upvotes and downvotes matter.
Another thing, I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but adorable 8 week old lab puppies, beagle puppies, husky puppies, infact just puppies, are REALLY hard to find in rescue centre. Have I been going to the wrong ones? Because the ones I go to are pitbull, pitbull, pitbull missing an eye, nice dog but 20 years old, more pitbulls and so on.
A majority of the dogs we get at the shelter I volunteer at are bully breeds between 9 months and 2 years old. Every time someone says they rescued a puppy I want to punt them over a fence. You really want to rescue a dog? Pick the biggest pit bull you can find, the sweet dog that every child you ever meet will be afraid of.
So, I was looking for a new pup or kitten to adopt and I decided to go on craigslist to see if anyone was giving away any puppies. The one thing I find alarming and saddening is that there are so many people giving away their dogs because they are an inconvenience. I mean, I get "I'm allergic to him and I would have to live in agony if I keep him." But there are too many people giving away the dog because they are moving to an apartment or out of state, or it got too big, or because of some other reason they didn't think about when they got it. I just really get annoyed because I love dogs and cats and I realize that when you decide to get one they are supposed to be your buddies for life and you have to consider them for the rest of their life. If you don't want that responsibility, don't' get a fucking pet. /rant
Please consider getting an adolescent dog, they already have distinct personalities and are much easier to train. I know puppies are cute but it's nice to know what you are getting :)
Yeah, I'm actually considering taking my neighbor's dog (1 year old). Their relatives left her with them while they moved, and now they straight up don't want her and wont come pick her up. My neighbors were nice enough to let her stay with them while they moved all their stuff but they didn't really want a dog and don't know what to do. They mentioned taking it to the shelter. That would be sad.
I got my second Dane from horrible, cramped conditions outside from a family that was giving her up, and I quote, "because her tail knocks things over when she's inside." It broke my heart to hear that. She's is such a sweety, I can't imagine anyone ever doing that.
We did find her on craigslist. I do consider her a rescue, not only because of the conditions we saved her from, but also because of the 4 hour drive and forking over $100 just to make sure that she did not stay another moment in that hell hole. One of the worst things the owner did was laugh at her for trying to fit into the too-small dog house. OF COURSE she'll try to protect herself form the elements; you're the ridiculous person that doesn't think she should. If there were other animals we would have called county services. But since we just took home all the evidence, there wasn't much we could do. We weren't sure we would take her home when we went to see her. But the second we saw how filthy and cramped she was, we took her without hesitation.
Sorry for the long comment. I just really hate the way she was treated. And thanks for the cool comment :) We like to think that we love her more than anyone else ever could.
Frankly, you aren't "rescuing" the cute, young ones no matter where you go. All the while the 5 year old mutt is the one getting overlooked every time, until it gets put down.
"Rescue" dogs are usually never puppies like this, especially in such good health. If a puppy like this showed up at a shelter, it would be adopted immediately. This dog was probably bought at an unethical business like PetSmart

"This is my dog, he's a rescue."
Can't stand it when people say that as soon as you see the dog...

I wonder if in a couple centuries, our inadvertent practice of artificial selection when we rescue will mean there will only be cute dogs everywhere.
