I've never quite got what exactly makes a dog a "rescue" dog. Shipwreck? Burning building? What????
(Serious question)

Next law on the docket? You WILL adopt this Pit Bull or any other dangerous dog that no one else wants.
Oh, you have a Toddler? Perfect!
*SPIT*
CA is 100% Certifiable!

Feral and/or abused animals don’t necessarily make the best pets, particularly for children.
They are outlawing the business of raising animals because they want to do some virtue signaling or moral preening. Are cows, hogs, and chickens next?

I think the premise is that the new owner is ‘rescuing’ the dog from being euthanized. There should be a different term.
I used to think it meant the dog has been trained to rescue or help people in trouble. But that is what “Companion Dogs”
are supposed to be doing.
To: lee martell
This kind of bill can be quietly pushed forward, because the bias will be cloaked in sentiment and fake compassion. Voting in favor becomes a way to signal the correct virtues. Aww, man! You just broke the socialist code.
...for everything.

There is no need for a law to get people to adopt shelter animals. Just have ads for them on TV and the newspapers... people will adopt them.
When I lived in CA, I did not need to adopt animals ever. Cats just showed up in my yard.
After three of my yard cats died over Easter week, I did go to an animal shelter to get a new cat. Apparently, in my new neighborhood, there are no stray cats looking for a home.
To make a law to require pet stores to sell shelter pets is ludicrous. Most pet stores do that voluntarily. I checked all of the local pet stores and the shelter to find the perfect cat.

Heck, people are crossing breeds and morons are paying huge bucks for what is essentially a mutt.

Ahhh okay Lee Martell. Thanks for the explanation. So now we can only buy dogs from the pound. Every time anybody I know buys a dog, they get it from random people who breed 'em. Is that what's known as a "puppy farm?"
My son got two dogs from internet advertisements. Pure breds without papers.

Stock up! I have one pedigreed Siamese living with us. Along with a half-breed Siamese/Rag Doll mix. Both born and nurtured in a human environment.
Along with three kittens that were born feral. They were a bit more work socializing than kittens born into a human environment, but worth every moment of it.

After three of my yard cats died over Easter week I suspect foul play.
Yard cats are the only cats worth having. They are eternally grateful.

Thank you.
They were each sick with something different. It was just pure bad luck that their chronic illnesses became terminal within days of each other.
Our old lady was 19 years old. I still remember when she came strutting into our yard, insisting that she belonged there despite all of my attempts to tell her otherwise. I put a collar on her, which she would sometimes lose and then bring back days later after she found it. She was the only cat I ever had who liked her collar.

How odd. I was thinking poison. I had a cat poisoned once (pretty sure).
I have this cat now that started following my son and his girl around when they would go for walks. One day he followed him all the way home and he's here to stay. I thought that was weird behavior for a cat.

Well, when a cat decides that you belong to it, there is not much you can do other than accept your fate.

I have 2 rescue dogs. The first one was rescued from a “breeder”. I suspect he was bred for dog fighting. He was almost a year old when we got him and almost completely bald from a horrible case of mange. He had been abused badly. Lots of meds and treatment shampoos later, he is a beautiful, shy dog. He has PTSD and it took about 2 years of patience and kindness for him to warm up to everyone in the household. Our other rescue dog was a relinquished chocolate lab who had heart-worm and couldn't relocate to Australia with his original family. He is healthy now and a happy friendly dog who has befriended the other dog. So the rescue dogs are sometimes relinquishments and sometimes true rescues from breeders and hoarders. My experience is that many of the purebred rescue dogs have expensive medical issues like heart-worm which takes thousands of dollars to get rid of.
To: Rebelbase
Are humane society/fostered animals considered “rescued” animals”? Most start out as kittens. If they are limiting this to purely rescued adult animals from dire/abusive situations, many unfortunately are not safe to be adopted by families with young children.
