The poem was sad.
Nancy I love reading your post.
My self I have never seen out pet stores where I live ever dirty. some of the workers there love their dogs just as much as we do. most of the are young school kids needing jobs. I have watched them work with the puppy's there and they treat them really good. but I cant say any thing about other pet stores. only the ones I've been in. and those ones have always been clean.
Its not the puppy store that really gets to me its the mills.
No I have never bought a puppy from a pet store but have family, friends who have. and they have been lucky to get a healthy one.
There's many breeders that are the same way. dogs in dirty cages. puppies taken away to early sick puppys sold, its all very sad. I know that there are many members here who have dogs that came from pets stores, and I know they all feel that they are happy that they got their babies and that they took them from those horrible places. and I have to agree. its not those puppies fault that they were born to mills.and I'm glad they now have a family that love them. But we cant save them all. I wish that we could. but I feel instead of wasting time with the pet stores we need to work more on shutting down the mills that's where its all starting at. those poor Mommy's and daddy's have never been loved. sutting down the mills and BYB will keep the petstores from having these pups. |
