Having been a part of the dog rescue community for over a decade, it unfortunately attracts a lot of unbalanced people who often mean well but quickly get in over their heads and end up doing more harm than good. The people who really piss me off are the ones who are doing it for validation and take in a bunch of dogs they can’t take care of but are afraid to get help because they’ll look bad to their small community.

It’s exhausting dealing with the people more than it is the dogs.

This makes a ton of sense. Some of the local "rescuers" are active on Facebook like it's a full-time job. It's an admirable level of dedication to the cause, or like you said, a sign that they're addicted to the validation and don't know their own limits.
