There is a Petstore in Lemoore California> The name, Animal House. The pups are behind glass doors. I do not go to this store . However, My brother stopped there recently to pick up a vaccine for his puppy . They sell them for $10 , a all in one. He was driving me to a Dr's appointment, and I ventured into the store, went straight to the puppies . Sure enough, there they were . A few of the cutiest little Chi's. All jumping up at me on the glass, just wanting to get out and play. They were very small, of course, being Chi's. And of course being overpriced. The next glass window had a couple mixed breed terrier puppies at a reduced priced, they were sleeping. ARGGG, I could not take it, all the puppies in the store , being sold like that. :mad: They always have pups . This store has been in business a long time. Any mention of where their pups come from they get in total denial , of any puppy mills . They are a mom and pop store. Not a huge corp. STill it makes my heart sick each and every time. At least nobdy is allowed to touch these puppies. So sad though. They are not given affection , but, someone is caring for them. Not the general public is handeling them, so that is a good thing, right? Still, it is a terrible site. Poor little puppies in a pet store. Then there are the reduced babies, and because they are a mixed breed . Still the price is nearly $300 . |

I guess I never thought of what they did with older pups, it is sad to think of the possibilities of what they do with them. There is a pet store here that has quite a few puppies. They even went so far as to tell the public to buy from them and not a breeder as they were better!!:eek: It just infuriates me!!:mad: I just wish that more people would realize that if you "rescue one" another will still takes it place keeping the cycle going, keeping the suffering going. |
Does anyone know what happens? Quote:
Does anyone know what happens if they don't sell? Now I really want to know? My guess would be the pound????? |

That is what you support if you buy a pet store puppy. Please don't help the cycle of cruelty and abuse continue. |

Wow! [QUOTE=Ladymom;2621373]Do you really think they will tell you the truth? They lie repeatedly when they tell customers their puppies come from local breeders.

NO PAIN MEDS!!!!!!!!!!! I LITERALLY HAVE A SPLITTING HEAD ACHE NOW!!! YOU KNOW WHAT ALSO IRRITATES ME, THE EMPLOYEES ARE INSTRUCTED AND HAVE THESE THINGS THAT THEY SAY THAT ARE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE REAL TRUTH!!! DID YOU NOTICE HOW CONVINCING THEY WERE WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL THE PUPPIES....WOW! IT LOOKS LIKE THEY REALLY MEAN WHAT THEY SAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE BEING HONEST!!!!!! SICK ROOMS! WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON!? HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DOGS IN TINY CAGES....HUH? AND LEGAL?????????????? HAMSTERS IN FREEZERS?????? SELLING SICK RODENTS AND RABBITS AS SNAKE FOOD....WHAT? Stupid question: would eating a sick rodent or rabbit make a snake sick? I also noticed that someone mentioned fake AKC registrations or fake info on registrations.... hmmmmm, all of it sounds a bit familiar........... I'll read the rest tomorrow, I haven't even gotten to the Fact sheet yet....I think I need a glass of wine.... |
As a side note, I know some rescue organizations do take the older unwanted pups from the puppy stores that can't be sold. One is in St Louis called Posh Puppies. There website says they focus on rescues from commercialized kennels (i.e. puppy mills), liquidations, "pet store rejects". I have worked with them in the past and know that some of their dogs are the ones that got 'too old' for the pet stores. |
As sad as it is I wouldn't be surprised if they are PTS if they don't sell within a certain time frame. I also wouldn't be surprised if they ship the older pups that they haven't been able to sell back to the mill (think Hunte/petland) and then they get auctioned off and either end up as a breeder dog, or with some rescue that thinks buying from auctions is rescuing them |
Most older pups that don't sell, get given up to shelters. |
