Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.
Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.
Damn.
KITTY. YOU CAME BACK. AGAIN. YAYY.

Christians were never meant to be normal. We’ve always been holy troublemakers, we’ve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of a dimension that’s incompatible with the status quo; we do not accept the world as it is, but we insist on the world becoming the way that God wants it to be. And the Kingdom of God is different from the patterns of this world.
Jacques Ellul (via revelation19)
Being attracted to men is an endless cycle of “Wow he’s good looking” and watching that man do the absolute most to show you he’s hideous on the inside.
Where do y'all live and only find bad men?

But what about people selling dogs and therefore taking away a potential home from a shelter pet? Only really applicable to people only buying a pet, not a dog for a specific task. Not really disagreeing with you for the big picture, but I have to smh at people who buy just a pet.
Well again, the idea that someone buying a dog from a breeder is ‘taking away a potential home’ from a shelter dog isn’t accurate. Just because someone doesn’t buy, or can’t buy, a dog from a breeder doesn’t mean that they will want or will adopt a dog from a shelter.
A lot of it is situational. People who want a pet dog have specific requirements based on where they live, their lifestyle, their energy level, how much they’re willing to groom, how much they want to exercise a dog, etc. There may not be a shelter dog in their area that fits their needs. In my city, for example, there are very few dogs available at the local shelter. They usually average 10-15 dogs at any one time. There have been times they have had no dogs available at all. That’s just my city. Other cities may be overwhelmed with adoptable dogs, and have an enormous range of dogs to choose from, giving potential adopters a greater chance of finding the dog that will fit their needs.
And I feel like it can’t be emphasized enough that people need dogs that fit their lifestyle. An older retired lady who wants a companion is not going to want a 1 year old 60 lb herding mix. A younger guy who jogs every day is probably not going to want an elderly chihuahua. Families who already have dogs, or cats, or children, will need a dog that has been socialized or can be socialized to live with dogs/cats/children. A shelter puppy with unknown parentage can be socialized to live with dogs/cats/children, but genetics could rear their ugly head when that dog grows up and turns out to be dog aggressive.
Rescue animals are fantastic. But with rescue animals there will always be some element of mystery and risk involved. Mystery breed, mystery socialization, mystery training. I’m not saying all rescues are ticking time bombs, but knowing the background of an animal can make a huge difference in taking them into your home and being prepared to care for them and meet their specific needs. If you’re prepared to take on possible health or behavioral problems with a rescue animal, that’s great! That’s what I’ve done with most of my animals. But if you are not prepared to deal with possible health or behavioral problems, if you have a lifestyle that limits itself to a specific type of dog, rescue may not be the best option for you or the rescued animal.
If you buy a dog from a responsible breeder, you’re going to know all the traits of that breed, you’re going to be able to meet the parents, you’re going to know how that puppy has been socialized and what they’ve been exposed to from day one. This can be extremely important for people who have children, who already have other pets, who want some advance knowledge about what they’re getting into and how this dog is likely to grow up.
And again - if somebody wants a pet, but they have specific requirements for that pet, and there are not rescue animals that fit those requirements, they will not rescue an animal as a pet. This is not a home being stolen from a rescue animal, because this is not a home that can handle having a rescue animal.
I mean long story short every prospective animal owner needs an animal that fits their lifestyle and their capabilities (this is how animals stay in homes instead of bouncing back to a rescue situation). Every prospective animal owner lives in a different area where their access to breeders good and bad and rescues good and bad varies. When some breeders are shitty, some rescues are shitty, some breeders are great, some rescues are great, etc etc etc, it all comes down to people being educated and taking the responsibility to find a dog that they can guarantee keeping for its whole life.
Adopting a dog because it feels good and there’s pressure to ‘adopt, don’t buy!’ means nothing if that dog makes them miserable, gets stuck in a kennel in a backyard for the rest of its life, bites another dog and ends up euthanized, or just gets dumped at the shelter again. And that’s the main reason I will never shame people into adoption over purchasing a pet, because adoption should be undertaken with the exact same amount of care, research, and commitment as buying from a breeder.
I hate the notion that my home can be “stolen” from one pet to give to another. My home is my own, the space in it is mine to delegate as I see fit. If I purchase an animal from a breeder, that animal didn’t steal anything from a shelter. The shelter pet never had that space given to it, and to be passed up for it isn’t a “stolen” opportunity. My pets didn’t steal their homes. It’s my choice to allow an individual to live with me, they didn’t steal their space, I gave it to them.
I’d also like to point out that: not all shelters are a good place to support.
There are bad, irresponsible, careless breeders. There are also rescues and shelters of the same nature.
I really wasn’t keen on taking any behavioral or health risks, so I got Willow from a responsible breeder. We already have a dog with a lot of behavioral problems, and I watched my best friends rescue dog die too young from health issues and it was traumatic.
Through a responsible breeder I was able to get the EXACT dog I was looking for, the spot in my home was always for her.
Yes to all of this! I’d also like to point out that even when you get a rescue dog as a puppy, it’s a total crapshot to what kind of dog you’re going to end up with! We got Bruno expecting him to be a berner mix, calm, sweet and friendly. He ended up being a stocky bully breed mix that’s super high strung and has a lot of anxiety problems (and no, it’s not all in how you raise them). He’s a fantastic dog, and we love him to death but we were not prepared for a dog like him.
Yes! All of my dogs I got from shelters, fosters, or “friend of a friend”. They are all very needy. Two of them are incredibly nervous about everything, one of them has had several stomach issues that have cost us thousands of dollars, one of the nervous ones we’re learning is a bit reactive. She’s also very high strung and has no off switch. With my first two, I could afford a lazy day. Not with her apparently. I never wanted this kind of dog because I know how I can be. I have down days where I just want to be in bed until noon. I have days where I want to climb the tallest mountains. With this dog, every day has to be a mountain day. My nervous boy has ran away from home and was missing for a week. The unhealthy one has the perfect temperament for me but it took 3 years to get him to this level.
While I love all of my dogs with all of my heart and soul, I was not ready for ANY of their issues. My next dog will likely be from a breeder.
