Then there's Bella, there was this young girl in Jacksonville Florida that had advertised her. She got Bella in a pet store. This girl couldn't take care of Bella. She kept coming down on the price daily, and then I went to Jacksonville to see her. I knew right then I had to get Bella out of her hands to give her a chance in life. I bought her. I consider her a rescue.
Neither of these poor babies would have had a chance without me. Yes, it is like condoning their breeding practices, but on the other hand there was these poor little animals not being cared for properly. |
And they are so lucky that they found you! But on the other hand, we all have to admit that we will all give in when faced with a tiny little life needing care. No sane person will turn their back on a defenseless little animal who needs help. We all want to help. We all wish we can help all the animals needing homes - but obviously we can't, but there are so many. And these horrible puppy mills count on their cuteness and our vulnerability - and in the end they win. That is why something has to be done by the legal system. I live on Long Island - so there are no puppy mills here. I have not seen them first hand - but then again - I don't want to. I can only pray.
