| Take the Pledge! Don't shop at stores that sell puppies! Nopetstorepuppies.com | A campaign by the ASPCA I know some of you have already seen the ASPCA ad with Larry the "dog". Take the pledge to not shop at any store that sell puppies, and pass it along! Also after you pledge, you can add in any stores you know that sells dogs that may not yet be on the ASPCA list yet. These people need to be stopped! Don't support stores that support puppymills!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Great idea, there's no reason for people to have to shop at stores that sell puppies, I know some people don't think a pet store should sell any animal, like fish or birds, but I haven't read enough to see why that's wrong. We bought fish at a pet store, and they are very happy in our pond now. I personally don't like to see caged birds, it's just goes against my nature, but I know lots of people enjoy them as pets. Anyway, I'm jabbering, I took the pledge.

| I haven't bought anything or even gone in a petshop that sells dogs in over 10 years. Years ago I got to the point where I could not see those precious dogs' faces and then walk out, knowing they had only a 50/50 chance, if that, of getting a decent home and life. As far as spending my money there, I had stopped doing that long before I quit stopping in just to see the dogs. I took the pledge and hope we all do it! Those people should be drummed out of business as they have no feeling at all for the well being of the little sweethearts they sell to whoever walks in the door. Great thread!

| I must already be shopping in the right places. I cannt remember the last time I saw a puppy for sale in a petstore. There is a rescue that frequents our area petstores,usually with only 2 or 3 dogs for adoption at a time. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I took the pledge. The one that is on there Man's Best Friend in the town I live in is horrible. My sister and I went in there a few months back when we were in the mall. The dogs were in glass enclosed cages with a tiny air vent. We complained to the staff that some of the dogs looked like they were overheated and not getting enough air. She said oh we trade them out every so often to the open enclosure. This was a pen where anyone can manhandle them. I called the mall and complained and they called back and said they passed on my concern to the store and they assured them they were all fine. I also talked to the shelter I volunteer at and asked about a humane investigation and she said it is almost impossible to close them down because the laws are so lenient. Just sickens me. I will never buy from a store that sells dogs.
