I live in BC Canada.
There are rescues who advertise all the time.
I think they would do so in order to prevent an animal
from ever entering the system. In our province we are mostly
no kill in our shelters (only when necessary-although I know exceptions). There are many breed specific rescues out there.
Take FORM for example. Friends Of Rescued Mastiff's. They are breed specific, and for the most part do not take other breeds in.
I think the majority of the public do not know there are rescues working outside of shelters. Advertising in the paper is a way for them to get their name out there. I know I didn't know such things existed till I got involved with the SPCA. Where I am we work with breed specific rescues, especially pitty's. Always a whole wack of them around here.
