It is not as simple as taking a chance on getting a healthy puppy or that they all deserve loving homes.

I don't know how to put an end to mills but I do know if you buy from pet stores...no matter how good your intentions...you are part of the problem. You are their customers. They couldn't stay in business without you.
I'm sorry if that comes off as harsh, I’m not trying to make anyone feel bad. Just my point of view.
I totally agree. I lived in a small town growing up. My bestfriend's parents owned a hardware store. When Home depot & Lowes came to town it put them out of business. People stopped buying from them, causing them to close.
