Our current two dogs (the chihuahuas) were both bought from reputable breeders. Rescued chihuahuas are really tough and rarely get along with other pets - to assuage our guilt, we donate to Chihuahua Rescue.
Our two dogs that we had before we moved west were both mixed breed (probably a little shepherd in the first and mostly lab in the second) that were rescues.
The two cats that Heather brought into the mix (we're talkin' a decade+ ago) were both kitten rescues. Sweetpea died about two years ago (less than a month after our diabetic Lab-mix Horatio). Violet, the Maine Coon, still perseveres with only a couple of teeth left in his mouth...
