You played the game and you are now the looser and so is the poor dog that belongs to someone who cannot afford the expense of the treatment needed to keep Fido alive. |
So true and sad. The shelters and rescues are chock full of sick dogs that the owners had to give up due to finances. Or they have behavior issues that the average pet owner isn't equipped to deal with, at least not without the help of a trainer which can get expensive.
Until the public stops buying these dogs, and starts supporting ethical breeders or adopting from rescues/shelters, the mills will keep on cranking out puppies, the parents treated like baby making machines, the mill owners using innocent animals to make money
The shelters and rescues will continue to be overflowing and overly burdened with shortfalls in their budgets.
OP, I sincerely hope that you will reconsider your purchase, but if not, wanted to wish you luck and I really hope that the puppy you end up with is healthy as can be
