This is why you never buy pet store puppies!!! If you have a facebook, you may have already see this but I thought it was worth the share again of those who haven't and for those who are thinking about buying a pet store puppy. I know how easy it is to get caught up in the cuteness of those babies but it is just not worth it!
MEET THE MOTHER OF A PET STORE PUPPY
"My name is 109. I have lived in a puppy mill for 6.5 years. I have had 11 litters of puppies and made my owner over $30,000.
To show his gratitude, he has never bathed or brushed me....he has never placed a kind hand on me. I have never seen a vet or felt grass under my feet.
The only time I am out of my 2x3 crate is when I am bred by force. I get a little more food and a cleaner pen when I have my babies. I am happy for awhile, but by 4 weeks they take my pups away to sell them online and at pet stores and I am alone again back in my crate.
The wire floor in my crate has caused me to have permanent deep painful groves in my pads. My nails are so long I can't walk on a hard surface.
Today, we were rescued. I am so scared, but I experienced something I have never heard before.....a soft, gentle voice."
Please share to help spread the word & raise awareness about puppy mills!
Volunteer, Foster, Donate, Adopt...
The picture I included was the one that came with it.
