Spreading the word and educating people is absolutely the BEST thing we can do and will get us much furthur than passing judgement. People see a darling puppy in a store and unsuspectingly buy it. The saddest part about this, in my opinion, is the fact the the majority of these purchases are "impulsive" and not well thought out. Any puppy is a HUGE responsibilty and not one to be taken lightly. I pray for Brittney's puppy's sake that he will be well cared for. |
So nice to meet you, I'm afraid Ohio is one of the worst and we have a big job. I tell people our first dog was purchased from a pet store and little did I know at that time. Certainly education is the answer just as you said.
