I consider it rescue if the dogs next step would have been death.
If the dog was in a safe place it was adoption.
My local pound that used to put pratically everyhting to sleep would be considered rescue to me.
Any dog found on the street is considered rescue to me.
As far as adopting frm a shelter that holds the dog I consider that adoption. Same with someone that is rehoming a dog as long as they are not threatening to kill it the next day or soemthing.
my pet peeve is"I rescued her from a pet shop"
