As I said above (sorry, it was sooooo long that some may not read it.
)
There is no such problem here in Alaska as NOT ONE pet shop I have seen carries puppies or cats. I really don't know how it came about but they have really managed to do away with this problem by not selling them. The only dogs or cats to be found at any of the shops are adoptions from the shelters.
It's how I got my Chloe (Golden) and when I decided I wanted a Yorkie I had to search for a private breeder.
I think they have done a great job here with this problem. Definately something to push for in other areas. I think I read someone say the same about OH???
