Oh, you guys. The people to thank are those people that actually go out into 'the field' and see firsthand where these precious furbabies come from. I just don't think I could do the 'undercover' work at a puppy mill and walk away without rescuing them all in one fell swoop.
It really does take the cooperation of many people to save these guys. It isn't like HUA and others just drive to a puppy mill and start loading these babies up. They usually have to first have a 'tip' from someone that a mill exists and then they have to negotiate the release of the dogs.
They also go to 'auctions' without revealing who they are, where puppy mill owners are selling dogs for whatever reason. Rescuers go with whatever money they can afford and save as many of the auction dogs as they can.
It would break my heart.
I'm just a little guy who gets the pleasure of home visits when people want to adopt from HUA.
