And I thought "B&B" meant you offered the goats bed and breakfast.

I don't like adopting from rescues. Most are run by bleeding heart wackos that charge big bucks for a mutt. Some have contracts whereby you never really own the animal and they retain the right to take it back if your care isn't up to their standards. Same reason I don't like the SPCA. It's a money making racket. In Texas, there is no recourse if they seize your animal, it is gone. You never get it back. Then they "rehab" it and sell it. Beg for donations to "save" (steal) more animals.

I guess y'all know how I feel about that--and I kept all the cuss words in my head and not in my fingers.

Just to clarify, the horse we just bought from the kill pen is not a "rescue". The kill pen is not a rescue, it is a business. A business of shipping horses to Mexico for slaughter, which most of us would not want to do, but a business nonetheless. He offers up the better ones for sale, again, it is a business decision. The owner does have a heart and some tug at his heart strings, but if they don't sell, they are shipped, it is a business. Why did I buy from a kill pen? Because somebody else already went to the auction barns, gathered up lots of horses, filtered out the sick, lame and crazy, and put the best up for sale. I can shop for a horse online, pick the one I am willing to take a chance on, and go get her. It is buying a pig in a poke, but what the hell, I'll take the chance.

Back to your regularly scheduled program...…...

Spot on, tho you do have to admit, that the type 'rescues' you are talking about in the first paragraph has, in the last 20 years also morphed into a rather big 'buS$ine$$'.
The exorbitant 're-homing' fee that has of late become the norm is among the biggest swindles ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.

The 'conditions' are not something I would ever ever ever agree with or ask someone else to.

Rehoming tips you have not thought of:


Ask to see the driver's license and copy down the address and name so you know

who has your dog.


To check for a criminal record or animal cruelty convictions, go to
www.courts.state.va.us/caseinfo/home.html. You need to see their driver's license to be sure they are who they say they are.


Unless your dog is very small, have the first question you ask (in a conversational way): " Do you want an indoor or outdoor dog?" If the answer is outdoor, and you want your dog to be an indoor/outdoor dog, then that should be a deal breaker. .

"Your" dog? No, you gave it up...it's their dog now.

This, is about $$$$ plain and simple and about leaving an avenue open to get the animal back and resell it for more profit at a later date.

I'm sure she does!

OK, I'm in! Oh, wait, it is somewhat unlikely I'll still be alive in 102 years.

Amber is still pregnant with the unkown kidding date....it still upsets me that the breeder who we purchased her and Samanth from left them in with adult buck, best i can guess is he got them at three months, way to young to breed any animal...but you can't fix stupid. In fact lilly is another product of greed and stupidity, her owner wanted her gone asap, as she wanted the milk for herself and family....i asked her if i paid for her now would she consider letting her stay and nurse for two more week? The reply was she was going today period...almost lost that three day old lilly on three different times, she is a five month old spoild brat ...and we love each other to the moon and back.

Sounds like my Lily ‍
