I respectfully disagree with your comment on pets. My wife and I have rescued 6 dogs, four of which are still with us and we never had a moment when they where not well behaved and loving. A rescued dog will love you, of course you have to show it kindness and love in return. A pet bought in a pet store? you had better know what was bred into that dog.

It all depends on who owned them before and how they treated the animal. My experience with 2nd hand pets has been very mixed, some have been nice and well behaved, some have been borderline psychotic. I don’t buy from stores though, I generally get them from the vet, he gets a lot of kittens and puppies, so you get the good parts of a rescue without the potential for a history of abuse.
