What "more resources" does a "rescue" have? What makes you think rescues get donations, and that the reason they have whatever resources they have is because on top of rescuing they are also spending time fundraising? How does a "rescue" (which is basically one or more "rescuers") "absorb" costs? How do you think the "rescues" worked out their deals with vets, and what would stand in the way of a "rescuer" doing the same thing? You have some major misunderstandings of how most rescues work.
Legitimate, non-profit reputable grassroots rescues are probably THE most broke and underresourced of anyone in the shelter/rescue spectrum. What little resources that a "rescue" has have ALL come at a cost. Coming up with the funds to properly vet animals before placement is difficult for everyone. Some people do it and some don't. We all make our own choices in rescue and have our own priorities.
