Family Puppy partners with Swartz Creek Veterinary Hospital. I would hope that the people that are against pet stores/puppy mills, also wouldn't support veterinarians that are making $$$ of those places. |
There is also a store in my area too that does the same thing with a vet. When it was time for me to pick a new vet I chose one that was not affiliated with the puppymill/pet store. Instead, my vet supports the local shelter with his participation in a low cost spay/neuter program. His office might not be the huge mansion "down the road" but it also wasn't built from the dirty money the other practice made from the pet shop.
I love his commitment to rescue. You know that your vet is a winner when not only does he support a local program but he also is a supporter of Gray Hound Rescue who owns rescues and vets the local rescues fosters.
