| It is shocking to find out the truth, isn't it? Of course Cody is not going back, He's your baby now. Just tell everyone you know about the connection between pet shops and puppy mills. That's the only way we can get those places shut down for good. If you are interested, you can trace Cody's background for free here: http://www.petshoppuppies.org/ |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Of course we know you love your baby...and I wouldn't think in a million years that anyone here would WANT you to send him back to such an awful place. He is safe in your arms now and that is all that matters - and thank goodness you saved him! You didn't know about pet stores and puppy mills, it wasn't your fault. Alot of people STILL don't know about them. I myself never even knew about them until I joined YT almost 2 years ago. You live and learn The most important thing is....you and your baby are happy. There is no sense in looking back!

| Your not the only one who learned AFTER the fact. Just say a prayer your baby is healthy and learn from here on. I thank the good Lord everyday I saved Buddy and he's healthy. Lucky the first time around but I would not ever take another chance. It;s just so sad. I guess I will never understand our government and why they can't be stopped! |

| Exactly! Don't feel bad! Now you know and can spread the word. YT has a sister site called MillBusters you might like.

Cody is lucky to belong to someone that loves him unconditionally and who is still open to learning and sharing information to save future puppies like Cody and their mommies and daddies.

| No one was "giving her problems" She was just getting comments advising against buying pet shops from dogs. Nothing harsh or critical or mean. To the OP. How can you say 'you didn't know?' You mean you weren't born knowing everything? I'm shocked! LOL...don't be hard on yourself...if you didn't know you didn't know. Now you know better and everytime you look at your little one you can do it knowing that now he FINALLY is somewhere that he will be loved! Although, your original post said he wasn't coming home until Jan 11th, so unless you got him early or already paid for him, it is NOT "too late now."
