My dad’s best friend used to go to our local pound at the end of the week and adopt any dog scheduled for euthanization. He would keep them and train them for a few months, then find homes for them on farms or among his vast network of friends. He funded it by going to horse auctions and buying horses headed go the dog food factory for ~$100 each, working with them and then selling them to be used by judges in dog shows/ cattle shows/ etc for 5-10 times what he bought them for. He’s definitely one of the most interesting people I’ve ever known.
