The ONLY way to get a puppy that isn't from one of the above is to "know" the breeder yourself. Please do a search for puppymills. Please see where they get these poor puppies from. Please don't ever think for one minute that any of these places cares about your puppy - they DON"T. They only care about MONEY. Many of us have fallen for the same thing - but please don't let it blind you into thinking what they are doing is OK. Please educate yourselves and pass it on to others. I can't find one decent, ethical breeder that would sell a puppy to a petstore... so where do you think they get them? PLEASE check out the links that I have provided below. Then, please come back and let me know what you think... http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/ http://www.petstorecruelty.org/Buyin...r%20beware.htm http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/Bunnie.html |
THANK You for saying that and good post ! I agree 100%...The whole puppy mill problem will continue to stay HUGE until this country realizes that Pet Shops are their Biggest customers - thus shopping a pet store is supporting them. I don't mean those who didn't know better - we've all been there....but hopefully those who KNOW about puppy mills would never buy from any pet store. The facts are out there - it's up to us to do our homework on buying a new puppy.
sorry for the rant lol - nothing personal to anyone.
