I'm almost hesitant to pitch in my nickles worth. What the heck, eh?
I'm less than inclined to simplistic black and white thinking on any subject and this is no exception. We've both fostered and adopted dozens of rescue dogs over the past 4 decades, and are huge proponents of doing so for those people who have the resources and the inclination. However, in the real world, right or wrong, some folks are looking for specific traits in a pet. I have heard convincing arguments made from all sides of this issue. In the end, I think taking a "morally superior" stance for any of them, is counter-productive and does little to advance a viewpoint.
