There is always someone comming in to pet them and give them attention, hold them if you ask. I am not saying i'm for puppy mills. Believe me I'm not. I just think they need a chance too. They did not ask to be here, they were forced. I'm just saying next time you pass a pet store go in and show some love and attention. They love it. Don't treat them like their a big mistake. They don't know that. I don't understand how some people can put down pet store dogs or cats. I know you are thinking about where they come from and it turns you off. But they don't know that. They just see a chance for attention and a little love. So go on in and let them know you care.

I am now stepping off my soap box. Sorry if I upset anyone.

I don't think you upset anyone at all; in fact, I think your post is very touching! I also try to at least talk to the little ones that I see occassionally at petsmart.
Thanks, great post!
