(7,581 posts)33. I do rescue and we bring up many puppies from the south
who have not been abused or traumatized. Go look up "Out of the Pits." They rescue pits and use many of them as therapy dogs. The reason you give for buying a dog when thousands of dogs AND puppies are killed every HOUR in this country is not valid.
