If you absolutely must have a puppy of a specific breed, contact the same rescue group, they'll point you in the right direction.
That's what I did. I wanted a specific breed, pure bred and The Humane League of Lancaster called me when one came in. Granted, it took FOREVER, but eventually I got my baby. He is six now and not one abuse or neglect problem, just a very smart and naughty dog. Learned behavior from living with me.

They do take after their owners. Mine seem to be extremely independent and slightly opinionated. Go figure.

About time. Do any of you have any idea what this "stop puppymills" madness is doing to the lives of legit breeders? Many from out of the area are put off by the notion of getting a dog from a Lancaster county breeder, whether that breeder be puppymill or respected operation.

Nah. Respected breeders have websites stating all the awards/ribbons their dogs have won in AKC dog shows. That's part of being a respected breeder... going to dog shows and having your dogs judged to make sure they are being bred to standards. I doubt there is a single puppy factory here that has a "pure" breed dog anywhere close standards.

I have a couple rescued puppy factory Yorkies. They'd be laughed at at any AKC dog show. Sure they are cute, but not even close to standards of the breed.
