You have to keep in mind that the problem of your question begins w/ the dogs coming to the petshops. If they didn't come to the petshops in the first place, we wouldn't be asking "what can be done w/ the ones that are there" because there would be none. With that in mind, my first reply is definitly not off topic like you said it was. Just remember, these puppies that are coming to the petshops are soon going to be the "existing" ones in pet stores.

No matter how much everyone on here preaches to other about petstores and spreads their knowledge, I really think it has to stop at puppy mills. Maybe that's where the rescuers should go in...if theres no dogs in the mills, no puppies can be made. If pet stores get shut down, a new one will open up. Remember that dogs will still be breed at mills, and they will find other petstores to be delivered too. Get rid of puppymills, then the petstores will be "starving" for puppies because they won't have anywhere to get them from, then there will be no "existing" petstore pups.
