Hi there,
I am rather concerned about the responses offered to you, and I am sure people have their reasons for their comments??
SADS is a great organisation who do wonderful work as do a lot of rescues and I am glad there are people out there like yourself that are still prepared to give cross breeds a home (we know there is no way we can stop cross breeds being bred). As for rescues last time I enquired there was NO Pug rescue, and this is the issue with a lot of pure breeds.
Good luck with your search for a new family pet, you deserve a pat on the back not a slap on the wrist
