Someone from my neighborhood bought a dog for $3,000. The shiba mix only had three legs. She had one surgical removed for some reason. Does this count as a rescue? It was a rumor that someone bought her by the way. My cousin is not the most reliable person. In fact, I don't even like this particular cousin. Could of been a complete lie. Do you believe in this?
If God were to create something heavier than he could lift, wouldn't he not be a God? Paradoxes. 😀
It's possible. as people will pay money for almost anything, but it does seem unlikely that they paid $3000 for her unless she's a pedigree breeding dog. You said she's a Shiba mix, so she's not a pedigree, and rescues and shelters almost always spay.
Usually I've heard 'rescue' used for shelter dogs or ones that have come through animal rescues, rather than ones that were purchased. Whether it counts as a rescue depends on the conditions she was kept in, what would have happened if they hadn't taken her, etc. Literally, if they were rescuing her then she's a rescue. Just having three legs doesn't make a dog a rescue dog and the fact they bought her - at six times the going rate for a Shiba Inu! - does mean that I probably wouldn't count her as a rescue.
I guess you're right, Frisbee. 🙂 It depends on her past conditions. I don't know her back story. Maybe they bought her to flaunt their money or something. 😡

Well, I won't know how or much cost it takes to get a rescue dog. I never know that rescue dogs can cost higher amount but I think people paying much are doing it for a motive or so.
The most important thing is that the dog with only 3 legs have been given a home. It doesn't matter how much that was paid as long as the dog is being taken care of.

Yes, that's the most important thing. Whether it was a bigger or for anything, we don't know but our concern will be that the dog is already rescued.
All dogs definitely deserve to have a home. This is why it makes me so happy whenever I see people who take their time to rescue as many dogs as possible.
