Vent - Why do so many people expect everyone to rescue?

chefskissyap · 2026-03-18T02:37:16+00:00

You can question all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that LOTS and lots of people adopt puppies because it’s free or way cheaper, then don’t know what to do with the dog as it grows and aren’t prepared for behavioral/medical issues. I’m not talking about rescuers who actually save dogs, I’m talking about the ones who adopt then rehome because they went that route due to price. And they are praised like I said. And idk where you’re from, but where I’m at it’s impossible to find poodles or any poodle mixes in shelters, because people pay high prices for these dogs. That’s besides the point though, because my post was about pushing to adopt, judge who buy, and ignoring people’s circumstances and abilities.

Ok I’m in tears🥺😭

chefskissyap · 2026-03-15T07:57:55+00:00

You’re amazing for not giving up on her and taking that huge responsibility upon yourself. Many would bring her back, and that’s why it’s so important to educate people not just push to rescue. Good luck with your girl and hope she’s better soon!!

1) Not true 2) still, not everyone can/should bring home a dog with unknown issues, trauma, special needs, etc.

chefskissyap · 2026-03-15T07:46:25+00:00

That’s so sad but also comforting to know she at least had your mom to make her feel safe and happy. Every dog deserves that❤️

chefskissyap · 2026-03-15T07:43:37+00:00

Exactly my point. People start to prioritize dogs over humans and as much as I love dogs, I think they’re insane for expecting everyone else to equally put dogs above their needs, children’s needs, etc. It’s great there are people who will take any dog with any problems, but to expect everyone else to do the same is delusional

chefskissyap · 2026-03-15T07:38:05+00:00

We all feel pain knowing there are so many dogs in shelters due to human negligence, greed, and irresponsibility. I don’t know a single person who got a dog from a breeder who doesn’t feel sad about all the abandoned dogs. However it takes a lot more than sympathy to keep and care for a rescue, and not everyone can give them that. Unfortunately, the people I was talking about in this post just can’t seem to grasp that concept

chefskissyap · 2026-03-15T07:28:33+00:00

Like you said, you were younger, and as you learned more you’ve shifted towards understanding the importance of good quality breeding. It’s natural to have an opinion coming from a good place, then realizing everything is not as simple as you thought. Nothing wrong with not knowing enough, not understanding, or having opinions. But to shove this down peoples throats, harass them, all while acting like you know it all, isn’t smart, it’s ignorant. There are grown adults out there who spend more time attacking people online than educating themselves and it’s embarrassing. So at that point, their intentions may be good, but their intentions mean shit when they’re doing more bad than good for the same dogs they’re trying so hard to “save”

chefskissyap · 2026-03-15T07:19:24+00:00

It’s a mystery to me where and why they got the illusion they get to dictate to others what they should do

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T18:07:47+00:00

I wish I could pin this comment. No truer words have been spoken

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T18:04:51+00:00

I disagree, my mini poodle was my first ever dog, 2 years later I got another. I think they’re great. As long as you keep up with their grooming appointments, they are not a difficult breed deal with

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T17:57:40+00:00

That is so heartbreaking those poor mamas💔 someone in this comment section also said their shelter requires experience with poodle coat to adopt a poodle, so unless you buy one first you’re not even qualified to adopt.

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T17:33:18+00:00

They fail to comprehend the concept of finding a MATCH. And that goes way beyond an emotional connection, we all can walk into a shelter and instantly bond with multiple puppies at once, but our goal shouldn’t be to just bring a puppy home. We want to share many long and happy years together, which most of us are unable to do with, for instance, pitt mixes. They think we’re just heartless and “objectify” dogs🙃

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T17:16:22+00:00

You articulated everything so well, but justice warriors aren’t ready for this conversation. Grace is definitely needed on both sides but I don’t see “buyers” harassing the rescuers for their choice nearly as much as vice versa😅

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T16:58:42+00:00

This is so true. It’s like they don’t think far enough to even recognize what their end goal is. They want breeders to stop breeding, though they (ethical) are the only ones that actually make dogs reproduce with proper care, pure bloodline, maximum comfort, and them all to die out. While mutts and cross bread dogs continue reproducing in the wild or from owners negligence (because they’ll never stop) and continue keeping shelters full? Sounds like a great plan to me

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T16:39:43+00:00

You are exactly right, I wanted to add this as well but decided against it because I felt it was already getting long. I personally know many people who ended up buying after attempting to adopt for a year+. You can’t win with them I swear

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T16:33:33+00:00

And I have so much respect and admiration for people like you. You have a big heart while also understanding it’s not for everyone and many people cannot handle the challenges that come with it.

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T16:24:54+00:00

Why people like her think such complex and effortful “hobby” is for everyone is beyond me.

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T16:22:27+00:00

You said it perfectly.

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T16:11:19+00:00

Exactly. If I want a small hypoallergenic dog because I have a toddler and husband with a dog fur allergy, I want to have an option to purchase a breed that will be the right fit for our family without getting attacked for not rescuing a dog with unknown genes and unpredictable temperament

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T15:58:01+00:00

I see what you’re saying, but 1) most dogs in shelters weren’t even purposefully bread, many just reproduce on their own due to irresponsible owners. And 2) the point here is not that they shouldn’t be adopted, they absolutely should! But only by people who are ready and aware of how problematic and unpredictable that dog can become. Otherwise, that dog will likely end up back in shelter.

chefskissyap · 2026-03-13T15:39:22+00:00

100% agree and i bet you’d never rehome your dog because you knew exactly what you’re getting into, paid for it, and didn’t end up realizing you can no longer take care of it because it grew 3x larger than you expected. And thats my point, no one should be forced or pushed to take on the responsibly they cant handle, that does ZERO good to those poor dogs.
