Fed up with the local rescues....

I've been really looking for another dog ever since my lab passed a few years ago. I got my dog in 2012 from a shelter. She was tested and was a full chocolate lab. Back then, the shelter had tons of variety and you'd be hard pressed not to find a lab of some color waiting to be rescued.

I went back to the same shelter to take a look at a GSD. There are actually two shelters now, one right by the other. The new one allows you to view dogs behind plexiglass, while the old one just had metal/concrete kennels.

When I got there they said "oh the GSD is still in intake"....so that means it's being held at the other older building. We walk in to go find the dog and it's nothing but pit bulls and pit-mixes. The signage for the dogs are all made up names. "Lab mix, GSD mix, Boxer mix"....hell they are ALL pits.

You used to have to pay to adopt($100/dog) but now it's free. There are no good dogs to choose from anymore and if you look at all the other rescue groups out there that are local, they're the same damn way.

If you go for a breed specific rescue, they capitalize on your crappy luck at a shelter and charge anywhere from $300-1000 per dog. A

I get the whole "adopt don't shop" but goddamn if they aren't making me want to just pay for a purebred puppy.
