For anyone looking PLEASE STAY OUT OF PETSTORES especially PetHell (petland)
They are in the market to sell puppies at inflated prices and in most cases (like 98%) they buy from puppy mills. For each dog they sell - another will take its place and the disgusting cycle continues -
there are very few pet stores that actually have dogs from local 'breeders' .
one near me is what I would call 'decent' and the woman who works there told me she USED to work at PetHell and would never ever support a store that buys from mills so I believed her
All the best finding a puppy - shelters are good - rescues/fosters are good and also - keep looking local. IT can be time consuming but so worth it in the end. |
