I have been in the same situation, with a neighbor. No matter how much I have explained that you cannot "rescue" these puppies, she still feels sorry for them, and buys them. Their argument is that their dogs have never had health issues. They are the exception to the rule.

She cannot seem to get it in her head, that as soon, as she "rescues' one, another one is brought into replace the puppy.

I've tried explaining to her about the life of the puppies mother, to no avail.

The only way these puppies can be "rescued" is if the pet store was forced to turn all of them over to a Rescue Organization, and the millers did not make their money.

All we can ever do is try to educate people about Puppy mills and Pet stores....its really up to them on what action they choose to take.
If problems do occur with her puppy be her support system, sometimes is a hard lesson learned.
