Are rescue dogs purebreds?
While in some instances rescue dogs may be pure-breds (and there may even be “papers” indicating such), some rescue dogs, while being predominately a certain breed, are “mixes.” Given the circumstances under which many rescues are obtained, there is no guarantee of any rescue being a pure-bred. Whether a dog is a rescue or not, it should be noted that the existence of registration papers does not ever absolutely guarantee that a dog is pure-bred.
