I am too. Despite the fact that Emily was bought from a breeder, we have had several dogs from other homes, we do try and get animals from sanctuaries. The only reason we got Emily from a breeder is our local sanctuary wouldn't rehouse dogs with us because we already had Oscar and one cat.
Oscar was given to us because his mate in his previous home died (old age, but he pined), and one of our other dogs was given to us because she had been (how can I put this) abused in her previous home, and had problems trusting humans because of it.
