Puppies! *3 pictures*

What is the name of the store? Next time you are there, ask where they get their puppies. If they say "breeders, don;t worry" ask if can contact the breeder with a question on a puppy or its parents. If the answer is no, those poor Golden babies may be the product of a puppy mill, and the store should be picketed and protested until it shuts down.

A new chain store selling puppy mill dogs "they're from a breeder, yes. We get them from a broker ... spin, spin, lie, lie" tried to open in MY state! How dare they??? We protested, and the stores were closed down!

I forgot the name but I'm sure we will be going back sooner or later.

Today I went to a pet store in my mall. I saw a VERY poorly bred Maltese there. It had a pug nose and VERY wiry hair. That's not a maltese characterstic. Most petstores like that that sell dogs are just in it for the money. Anyway, they are adorable.

All of them are, it's so sad . I never set food in pet stores anymore now that I know better, even just to look at the dogs; I don't want to support them in any way. It's disgusting what people will do to make money, those poor dogs.

Zoomer, have you ever considered volunteering at a rescue or shelter?
When I was younger, I loved going in pet stores and wanted to volunteer at one, but I learned how horrible they are and started volunteering at rescues and shelters instead. At first I wasn't old enough to volunteer at the Humane Society, but I got in contact with rescues through my vet and volunteered there. A lot of them really need the help and really appreciate it!
