thats true but it depends... because you can't say that all of the pet stores are bad because some do supply you with the exact name of the breeder.. The phone num and so on.. So i understand that you can't be too sure on getting your puppy at a pet store because of puppy mills but ask questions to the people who work there. I feel horrible because i didnt help a pet in need at the animal shelter but yet i dont because i helped a pet in need at the pet store.. So im not against it at all because either way your helping a pet have a loving family..

poor little maltese! glad it shut down.:(

Yes, I did get Roxey from a pet store(at a mere $600:rolleyes: ), and that was before I knew anything about puppy mills. Now I would never get one from there. Sure, they give you papers with the breeders name on it and the registration #'s of your puppy & the parents, but what does that tell you? Nothing! How would you even go about finding these breeders? Plus, most pet store chains have a 1 yr guarantee-so what, the pup get sick after a few months & you take it back:confused: I can't even imagine, I get attached after only a day or two! They never know what type of home these dogs are going to. We stopped in a pet store in Ky at the mall & was looking at a mastiff puppy-they wanted $1200 and that was on sale:eek: We said no, we were just wasting some time, but she really tried to pressure us into getting this female mastiff. She even went as far as to tell us that we could breed her and get our money back on the sale of the first pup:mad:
Anyway, I just wanted to have my say.

Oh & btw...I signed

I signed. I completely think that pet stores have no business "selling" puppies and kitties. Handing them money and them handing you a dog or cat, no questions asked, is SCARY. Why can't they do what Petco and Petsmart do - have adoption days with local rescues and shelters. An application process is CRUCIAL and very necessary. I don't care if its a breeder or a shelter, you better know where that animal is going.

I am taking high offense to the things said about shelters. There are good shelters and there are bad shelters. Please don't make blanket statements about all shelters. The shelter I work at takes better care of our animals than most people take care of their own pets.

Yes, we did, waaaay too much. When I said "mere $600" I was being sarcastic. I would never get a pet store pup again.
