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.

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.
