Puppy in the window
 

I was at the mall yesterday and went into the pet store to get some treats for Rex. Well my plans changed very quickly. a little head shot up and we looked eyes. He’s a japanese chin. The little guy was just laying there in his hard plastic bed with a towel in it and poop all over the floor with no toys to play with. So I had to cuddle him. I asked the guy at the counter if I could see him. 4 months old and the cutest little thing stuck behind a window all day. He just cuddled right up with me stuck his nose right into my neck and I just fell in love and gave my all these little kisses. So THEN I start to ask the question and the answers he kept giving me were pissing me off more and more and I could tell he was getting annoyed . Poor baby I HATE pet stores! I really wanted to take him home with me and give Rex a brother. This is were the get there puppies from. The Hunte Corporation - Where Puppies Come First . i feel like I let the little guy down buy not taking him :(

I fully appreciate what you're saying and that's why I keep away from pet stores. Besides if we buy from them, we are only encouraging puppy mills. So sad though for the poor little pup.:(

I know it's hard, but we just can't support these places. If we keep buying from them they will keep producing. There is only one way to stop them. It's all about the dollar for these people. So yes you could have saved one, but by not buying him you may save more.

wow that website has the best worded BS ive ever read

I know right! this is why people think puppy stores are OK. if i could i would close everyone of them down

I understand what your saying...both my mutt and yorkie are rescues...but if those pups are not bought...what then...it is a definate catch-22:rolleyes: for those of us who love dogs...sigh...Humane society, SICSA, and Animal Resource Center will always be where my babies come from...Unless there is ever another Fizz running the streets. I am still appalled that no one ever called and claimed this little sweetie. I will love him for a long time. (I repeat!!! microchip and tag your dog!!!) Mine are.

pet stores where i live dont sell dogs anymore
One day I walked into our local pet store (in the mall of all places )
and was walking past the dogs as usual and passed a " designer dog" a cocker/bischon mix ugly little white blob so i passed her by then something in my brain connected to what my eyes had read and i walked back. Her 900 dollar price tag had been crossed off and below it was written Free. So i stopped an employee and asked why she was free she responded She was an owner return because she was DEAF!! the owner brought her back cause the puppy was DEAF can you imagine!! I looked to my left and these HORRIBLE looking people were pointing at her and talking softly i stepped a little closer to them and heard them say..i wonder how she'll fair on the farm with the tractors OMG a deaf dog on a farm! Well all my dogs are sign lang. trained anyhow so i yanked out my phone and called my sister ASAP she said GET HER!!!!! I walked up to the sales lady and said I want that dog she looked at me like i was NUTS and staryted to talk to me all slow like i was stupid i was 22ish at the time. I was like lady i realize the dog is deaf ide like to take her home NOW please. well after a long car ride home where she got sick in the car drooled ALL OVER my leg was scared out of her mind of EVERYONE but me guess what IF THAT DOGS DEAF IM THE QUEEN OF ENGLAD shes not deaf shes just a PUPPY for gods sake she dosent listen DUH that was about three years ago the pet store was shut down due to " economy " and our little white blob ( Rosey ) is not deaf and as cute as can be. shes my nieces dog now but she still gets extra excited when she sees me. She knows i saved her that day

Awww....what a great story! Do you have a pic of this "little white blob" that you rescued? I'll bet she's just adorable:D

lol shes a giant white blob now i swear that girl weighs 20 lbs no i dont have one ill have to get a picture of her and my nephews lab Raven so i can post my colored clan

OMG! what a wonderful story! you are that dogs angel!

exactly! why do these poor dogs have to suffer? humans are SO cruel :( i will never understand how someone could hurt any kind of animal just for money

Look for feed stores in your area. They have all the food, and treats you'd want, but they don't have the pups. I wouldn't be able to stand it if I had to walk into a pet store and not wonder what fate awaits the pups in the windows. What's worse, I'll never stop thinking of their poor moms and dads that are used over and over as baby making machines. Even if you buy treats and clothes, you're still supporting these kinds of businesses. They don't deserve any of your hard earned money!

Like I said...a catch-22. But Like I also said...mine will always be from the "pound" or a rescue...Loved the story of the "blob" can't wait for a picture

The feed stores around here all sell puppies. Went into one some time ago not realizing what I would see. It was horrible. Large puppies in one wire pen and small ones in another. The tiny, tiny small ones were being picked on in the small pen and it was horrible.:(:(:( Our daughter and I both walked out of there crying. ~Joanne~
