National Rescue Dog Day
Just heard on the news today is national rescue dog day. I would like to thank everyone that's adopted a rescue. ASAPCA says 3 million dogs enter a shelter each year.

God bless all rescuers.
God bless ANYONE who gives ANY dog a loving home. Rescues aren't for everybody and as one who buys purebreds from REPUTABLE breeders I should not have to defend my position by those who consider me a second-class citizen (not you Colliehauler, just speaking in general terms). Don't misunderstand me-I have the utmost respect for those who choose rescue animals-but the holier-than-thou attitude gets a bit old.

This number is completely unacceptable but IMHO emphasis should be put on stopping puppy mills and educating the public on what pet ownership entails. Preventing the source will go much further than just treating the symptom.
