I was throwing around the idea of starting an actual legal dragon rescue, as I do love taking in, fixing up, and rehoming dragons.
But of course I'm also pursuing the breeding aspect of dragons, and raising up some gorgeous young ones to breed.
I was talking with someone from a BD group, and she said that if you want non-profit status for a rescue, you can't do any breeding on premises. If I want to do BOTH, then I can't pursue non-profit status, which means I can't apply for grants, donations, etc...
Dang it! How do I choose?!?! I put a lot of $$ into getting my breeding babies. And if I continue to pursue "rescues" withOUT the non-profit status, that'll be A LOT of money out of pocket.....
SHEESH! Why can't I just have the world, dang it?!?!
