Thank you for saying that !!! I have a big mouth about petstores and don't ever want anyone who HAS a pet store puppy to feel bad - that's NEVER my intention - some of my best friend have puppies from Pet Stores -
but - it's true - spreading the word about them can only educate the next person to make an informed decision and maybe ...just MAYBE one day someone will finally listen and put the brakes on mass breeding. IF Petland was banned from selling dogs - can you imagine how many LESS females would be bred ??
