Stealing is wrong, but the puppy would of been better off with the lady that took her than sitting there at Petland.

tell it like it is...i know what you mean....my thoughts and feeling exactly...i have been in there numerous times...just look at the puppies and some of them are too young and too sick to be display....i get sad just thinking about them..

I got Kaba at 8 weeks and have had no problems. Most of the world sees that as normal.

yes 8 weeks used to be the standards and some still use it...it all depends on how well the puppies are doing on their own and etc...

And... who is to say she would even have been keeping her... she might have done it for the money and turned around and sold her to someone on here... who would have then been in possession of stolen property (only then to turn around and lose the puppy they got attached to when someone figured it out later). So, while I don't like pet stores... this is a good thing!

yes we really don't know which is better....but as long as the puppy is safe and out of harms way...

I know that buying from Pet Land is wrong but so is stealing from PetLand

I believe it or not I was teased about tthis being me stealing the dog.

hehe..that is funny...in a way...

Two wrongs don't make a right. Who is to say if this woman would or would not steal YOUR Yorkie if she saw it and wanted it? I know I wouldn't want her around my baby.

[xxmxaxrxyxx]

That is very true...hehe...

I'm sure the person that took him did not steal him because she disagreed with puppies in petstores. I'm sure it was just someone looking for a free puppy and yes they would probably steal your dog too if they thought they could get away with it. With that said It is so sad to see an 8 week old puppy let alone a Yorkie being sold in a petstore. In some states they are even allowed to sell a puppy at 6 weeks. My Lilly who we got from rescue at 13 weeks was such a puppy. Someone bought her from a petstore at 6 or 8 weeks (They were unclear as to which was accurate) and kept her a week and then gave her to rescue. My guess is she was very sick and that's whay she was turned over to rescue. When we got her the rescue had over $900 in vet bills into her. She was so tiny when I got her and barely any hair. I had a terrible time finding cloths small enough and she needed them to keep warm. Of course YT was great. I had memebers here just out of the goodness of their hearts send me cloths that would fit her. I'm happy to say now that she's almost 9 months, 4 lbs, healthy and her hair has grown in nice. Elaine

A sad story with a delightful ending. My favorite kind.

I have a friend who has a rescue Yorkie. Hers was not as young as yours but in the same sad condition with hardly any hair. I will never understand. Not in a million years. I love my Sassy so much that my mind cannot comprehend anyone letting that happen to any one of them.
