This is why I don't go into pet stores that sell dogs. (Even if I'm not buying a dog, I'd still be supporting their business by making other purchases and since I'm not going to buy anything, why go in?)
I don't know what the fate of the unsold/unwanted puppies is. Hopefully they eventually find homes. It is hard to resist trying to rescue them from the pet stores, but IMO it's important to stay strong and send that message. Theoretically (can generally) speaking, if you cave and come up w/ $1400 to buy the dog, what about the next one that comes in to take his place? Will you save that one too? What about the miller breeder having to up their pups to continue supplying the pet stores?
Its a harsh reality. |
