She's a cutie
Unfortunately, she may have a life full of health issues, as many of these little ones from mills do
The store is still open because they know how to skirt the laws, AND they know how to play on the shoppers' sympathies. They KNOW that a sick little puppy is going to tug at people's heartstrings. My Luna is from a pet store. I knew better, and didn't even want to go into the store, but my husband insisted. We had just lost our first Yorkie, Starr, and were in no condition to be even looking at puppies, but there we were
She was so tiny and sickly looking, my hubby just had to "save" her. We did save her life, she ended up almost dying on us but we pulled her through. I had to fight like crazy, but the pet store DID end up reimbursing us for the emergency vet bill of over $700
I had to practically harrass the woman, but she finally cut me a check, which we went and cashed right away in fear that she'd stop payment on it
Anyway, the problem with "saving" one of those precious babies is that there are more waiting to take their place
Use Pixie's story to educate as many as you can, and to get the word out about that awful place. Any GOOD breeder of puppies would NEVER ever sell their puppies to a pet store, so I think it's super shady of them to claim that their pups come from local breeders
Good breeders have waiting lists and are very picky about where their pups end up.
Good luck with her, she sure is adorable
