In the
first 6 or 7 years of our existence the majority of our
dogs came from
dog auctions in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and other states, where unwanted
dogs from commercial
dog breeding kennels are sold.
It is the
first time that anyone has ever documented — in dollars and cents — the multimillion - dollar river of cash that is flowing from rescue nonprofits, shelters and
dog - advocacy groups through
auctions into the pockets of
dog breeders.
