[QUOTE="donna723, post: 381921, member: 1883"] That's something else that the reputable rescues do that I forgot to add to my original post. When the rescue organizations have the pets vetted, they are ALWAYS tested for diseases such as heartworm and tick-born illnesses before they are adopted. If they test positive, they are treated BEFORE they can be adopted. When I got Trace, my youngest Boston, he had already received extensive medical treatment including his neuter and eye surgery, he had been tested for Lyme disease and heartworm, and was given all his shots including the vaccine for kennel cough. All of this does not come cheap, which is why they ask for adoption fees, take donations, and have fund raisers. This woman is more an animal "shuffler" than she is a rescuer! If someone were to adopt a pet from her they would have no idea about the temperament of the animal, whether or not they were good with kids or other pets, or what medical problems or diseases they might have. I've heard some very sad stories about people who got pets from people like this, only to see them die of heartworms or some other disease a few months later, or find out that they have some other medical condition that will cost them thousands of dollars in vet bills.
