I was very active in animal rescue work for a long time. Now I sort of drop in and out.
Rescue groups (and some specialize in certain breeds) take in puppies and dogs which are homeless. Some of the dogs are abused; others are neglected; some of them are homeless because the owners can no longer care for them because of finances; others belonged to people who died.
Some of the dogs need a lot of patience. Others are simply sweethearts from the beginning. I currently have two rescues, both German Shepherds, one with AKC papers.
There are some really good dogs out there that need homes.
Next time you're thinking about getting a dog, come back and we'll find a rescue group to work with you.
