| 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. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Oh - I just hate it that I read this - I get so upset and confused. I totally understand the concept of not buying because these puppies will just be replaced with others and we are lining the pockets of these horrible breeders. But I wonder (and am probably going to be sorry I asked) what happens to these puppies if they are not sold. I often wonder if they are being bought by money hungry people who will just breed them to try to make money. If they will be bought anyway, why not by someone who will have them spayed/neutered and give them a good loving home rather than someone who is no better than the people that put them there. I feel like it's not their fault and they are the ones being punished. Kind of like a child lets say whos parents spend their money for drugs and don't have money for food. We give them free breakfasts and lunches in school so that they don't go hungry but doesn't that let the parents have more money for drugs (not sure if that is a good example, but I hope what I'm saying makes some sense). It breaks my heart that these poor babies sit in these cages in these windows - get taken out and played with (I know how hard it is not to - I've done it too) and then put back in these cages to just exist!! I just want to take these people and stick them in a cage in the window and let them see what its like. How can they be so heartless....OMG - sorry - I just get soooo mad - and needed to vent!!!! WHEW....got to go try to catch my breath...fingers need a break!!!

| 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 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. |

YT 500 Club Member | 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
