My spouse and I recently adopted an older shelter dog (Carlotta). Some of the other MDs at my hospital were putting together a "Dr. and Dog" social event, so I took Carlotta. The amount of jabs I got for bringing a shelter "mutt" (with typical elderly dog health ailments) instead of purchasing an expensive designer dog like everyone else was astounding. I'm sorry I didn't pay thousands for a purebred or socially-acceptable mutt. Is this level of snobbery typical in dog circles??

I think that you find snobs in every circle. My hospital has plenty of clinicians who boast about their purebred this or that. But we also have people who are in love with their rescues. I'm sorry you were treated rudely, sometimes people are ridiculous. I have 3 shelter rescues at the moment; I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I have a rescue GS mix. So incredibly smart and appreciative. A lot of the younger people are getting labordodles (?). My groomer said most of the ones they see are crazy!!
Check out PETA and ASPCA and see behind the scenes of a “breeder”.
Thank you for not supporting puppy mills.

I have typically rescued all of my pets and have found a few different responses. I’ve watched peoples expressions change once I told them my dog was a mutt and while it’s annoying, it never changed the love I had for my dogs. Rescues should be celebrated and the fact that you rescued an elderly dog is commendable.

First off thank you for adopting. Growing up I didn’t know what rescue was until my husband and I were looking to “get a dog” when we got a house. I was thankfully educated what rescue was and began volunteering after adopting. All of our close friends have rescues now and value adopting over shopping. I hope over time we can change the norm through education. I hate snobs and those who support the puppy mill.

Wow. This honestly makes me so sad. All of my animals are from the shelter. Shelter pets need love too.
