We ended up getting a refund and keeping her...so the store did not make a profit on the sale of our puppy. We like to think of Tia as a rescue pup because she came from a store...although I do agree that buying from stores creates a demand from puppy mills, I also beleive that every dog deserves a loving home....it's not the dog's fault. We believe that Tia is nwo in the best home she could ever have...ours! We love her so much....don't know what I'd do without her sweet face to cheer me up! |
Wow, I can't believe the store gave you a refund AND let you keep the pup. That is unheard of!
