Full bred dogs do not come from the pound but breed rescue. There is more than one way to rescue an animal.
My first Scottie belonged to my boss's son who did not take care of her. They would lock her in the bathroom; no food, no water for a weekend while they went out on their boat. I started taking care of her until it became full time after she was mated and had puppies. They finally gave her to me. I consider her a rescue dog......just like my cat who came to my door after a house in the neighborhood was forclosed on. I just consider that I was the one who did the rescuing.
I just say that they enjoy and love the dog as I am sure they will. I am so happy for them. I have a feeling that when the President is up on some late nights the dog will be right at his feet.
