My dog Vigan who is 3 years old now is somehow a rescue dog/pup. From where I live, there aren't many organizations that rescue dogs. There are tons of apartments here that do not allow pets also. My neighbor has a dog who just gave birth to 2 cute pups and they're about to move from another apartment that does not allow pets. They offered one of the pups since the mother will be going home to their ancestral home in the province and they cannot afford to raise the 2 pups so they asked if we want to adopt one since they offered the other to someone also. My aunt offered the pup to me and I accepted her but I don't think she'll survive because she's too young. She's barely started walking and I tried my best to care for her. I bought feeding bottles and milk and feed her. Fast forward to three years now and she's good and well and a happy dog.
The only dog I saw in our family house was my aunt's own. I don't know how she got to have him and I didn't question to know how he came about but he has lived with us for quite a long time.
