IMO it is a little lame to call your dog a "rescue." Funnily enough my wife and I actually did rescue a dog from almost certain death today, we were driving along and it ran into the road and nearly got hit by a couple cars, so we circled back and my wife got it to get in the car. Some kids walking home from school were saying that it had been out wandering around all day. When the people from the city came to pick it up, they said that they already knew the dog was on the loose because people had phoned in reports earlier, but apparently they hadn't bothered to come find it yet because they had trouble catching the same dog when it got loose on other occasions. 
Beautiful dog though, gigantic male chocolate lab looking dog. Not sure if it was a cross or what but it looked like it was well over 100 lbs.

Like, when I adopt kids, I'm not going to refer to them as "Averted Abortions" or shit.
Plus, what's wrong with a dog being put to sleep? Chances are, you contribute to hundreds of animals dying every year just from your eating habits. 
Not saying I have a problem with anyone, but this term does annoy me and the whole thing's just kind of dubious or hypocritical at best. 
I'm gonna buy my Averted Abortions a dog when they turn 5, but they're gonna call it a DOG god damn it 
It could be cause they rarely put down children who aren't adopted soon enough

Eh, I don't mind that. Since a lot of those rescue groups are also "high risk" breeds. To me it means they know the breed and know how to deal with them, especially if it is a strong, or working breed.

I do think it's weird to say rescue dog. I will though break that out when someone is talking about buying a specific bread because that bread is the awesome sauce. Well I might not use rescue but will mention how I adopted my dog from a shelter.
I can understand buying a dog if you need it to be a true working, like on a ranch, or a seeing eye dog for example. Buying a dog for a companion is stupid.
Back yard breeders need to be punched in the face. People that buy cats and dogs from pet store need to be kicked in the ass.

So people shouldn't be proud of rescuing a dog?
Are you insinuating that they only do it is to be a pretentious douchebag?

I think I was underthinking it given I wasn't seeing the action of preventing a dog in basically a luxury prison from being put to death.

Of course not! I'm going to be proud I adopted my Averted Abortions (which is technically not very analogous because I and others who have/will adopt kids do not actually do anything until after they're not in harms way).
I just think the terminology was a little extreme sounding for what it really is... usually.
I think anyone who adopts a dog SHOULD be proud and FEEL GOOD for what they've done for the animal.
BTW I care a lot about animals; vegetarian for 5 years, and a recovering PETA member with 4 years clean

Its called a dog rescue because the dogs are put down if they aren't adopted eventually, thus you are rescuing them from death.

I'm only conceding because technically, by the definition black-and-white pyramid gave, it's technically rescuing.
It doesn't take the smartist guy hear to realize that calling filling out some papers and taking a kitten home "rescuing" is really toeing the line of exageratting.

Because buying a dog only encourages more dogs to be bred. With 3-4 million pets being euthanized a year by shelters, there is already an ample supply. Buying a pet rather than adopting one perpetuates the problem.

For shame st1ll.
I have rescued many a dog and found them good homes.
i have referred to them as rescues. so what? We rescued a pit bull, well she was aggressive and my lady refused to see it and she tore the throat out of my favourite dog. needless to say i put her down there, so I may not have rescued her from much.
But regardless, if you save a dogs life you rescued it. and I love the term because there are so many people who could care less and send a thousand dogs to their death.
Also, adopting is something you do for yourself, if you feel you're missing something in life. A rescue can be selfless. we, my lady and I, were once a family rescue, as in we kept taking in dogs until we could barely afford to eat because we had so many.
averted abortions... if you decide to abort and then change your mind, sure. But if you plan on having that kid and abortion was never an option, then no, they were not averted abortions.

I don't see the issue. I think it's relevant. That fact that dogs are homeless in the first place is our fault, and instead of getting them a decent home we breed more because we want "purebred". I think getting a rescue is an honorable thing
