If I were breeding I would want to make sure that any of my puppies did not end up in a shelter w/o my knowledge. Contracts are broken all the time. Microchips are forever.
Yes, the OPer asked a legitimate question but the answer should have been more along the lines of this:
"Unfortunately, there is no way that I can give you an answer to your question. They will be UTD on their vaccines and spayed/neutered prior to leaving. The former owner most likely lied to us about the health, vetting, temperament, and overall care of these puppies. As a matter of fact, all of the animals here we really don't have any idea what they are really like. They are scared, overwhelmed and filled with anxiety due to the fact that someone allowed their dogs to breed, didn't take responsibility for their actions."
People that allow their pets to breeders need more training in responsible pet ownership. If it wasn't for irresponsible breeding practices shelters wouldn't be overrun with dogs and cats. |
My contract was used as an example to show that just because a dog is taken to a shelter, does not meant that it came from a poor breeder. Anyones puppy could end up in a shelter under the right circumstances.
She asked where the dog came from and the worker told her from a breeder. The paper work, that was filled out by the owner said they came from the pet store. So the Owners did not lie. The worker failed to give the correct answer. Which would lead me to believe they really were not concerned. If they had been, they would have given the correct answer, or at the very least said "I don't know, but I will find out". But they were very flippant and IMO Rude and non-caring.
