Jimbo, ITA, but you're preaching to the choir here...
I think a lot of people rationalize that the dogs they turn in will be adopted from the shelter. The cute little pure breeds may be, I know people who do rescue on LI that visit them and "adopt" them into breed specific rescue to be later adopted out. The pit bulls, the older dogs, the ones never taught manners don't stand a chance.
It's just as bad (if not worse)with cats, everyone wants a cute little kitten. On this board we see time and again cats that need homes.
