Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. I’ve never though of the concept of “adopt don’t shop” being a “vegan friendly” option for pet ownership, I’ve just always thought it was an obvious choice, but I get the connection now.

Since rescuing does not directly support the breeders, some vegans are OK with rescuing to give these animals a better life. Some vegans use similar logic to thrift wool sweaters for yarn, when they would not support buying new wool.
