Let’s talk about profit for a second.
A lot of shelters bring in more money than ethical breeders through donations, grants, and adoption fees. And that’s okay! They’re doing important work.
But here’s the double standard.
When shelters isolate animals for biosecurity or safety, it’s called “responsible care.” When breeders do the same thing? We’re accused of being cruel, greedy, or uneducated.
The truth? Everything I earn goes right back into my animals. I isolate to protect. I invest in health, housing, enrichment, and education. I don’t ask for help with vet bills or feed costs. I take care of it because that’s my responsibility.
Ethical breeders provide the same level of care but we do it out of our own pockets. No grants. No donations. Just commitment.
We stay connected, If an animal l’ve placed needs to come back due to life changes, I’ll take it. If I can’t, I’ll help find a safe home. Because we understand that responsible breeding doesn’t end at the sale, it’s a lifelong commitment.
So let’s stop judging care by the logo on a business. The standard should be the same for everyone who claims to care.
