You're exactly right. I just don't "get" people who think rescues are somehow "faulty" or "second-class". I've had nothing but rescues my whole life (my 1st memory is going to the pound with my folks when I was 3 to get my first dog), both purebreds & mutts, & they are THE best pets EVER.
I'm so happy you have your Crissy. Just be patient... she'll come to trust you & wil forget all the bad stuff that happened before she got her forever family!
