As long as people buy dogs from a Pet shop, there will be unimaginable suffering from those left to breed starting with first heat and every one after till it can no longer have a litter then it's shot. The live in wire cages 24-7, no warmth or shelter from wind and rain. They are sick, never see a Vet. and are in constant pain from rotting teeth, fleas, ticks and health problems. Take a look at these two sites. On the first site, click on photos & videos. Do you want to be responsible for this? We need to picket those pet stores that sell dogs and cats, not line their pockets.
