what happens?

[My Peanuts]

We ( pet store owners ) Don't care about the dogs, we won't cut into our profits so the dog can live a nice life.

They dump 'em in the countryside.

( our pet store only sells small, cute puppies )

Try not to picture maltese, shit zuts, bichon frises,and toy poodles Just reaching adulthood. all alone, at night, in the - 30 temperatures (winter ) and + 20- +30 temperatures (in summer) with no shade, no food no water. Many wild animals, just looking for easy prey. and much much more.

I'm confused. Are you saying this or is this someone else's words?

I heard some employees talking, she was hissing at one of the other employees because the other employee cared about the animals.

i got this all the time when i worked at the petstore in Nashville. they kept telling me that the dogs are products. if i wanted to "save the puppies" to go work at the humane society. i couldn't quit my job so i just had to male the pups time at the store as enjoyable as possible.

i'm not sure what other petstores do to the older unsold dogs. the one i worked at they lowered their prices. if the bigger breeds got too big for the cages they took them to the shelter. there was an Akita that i named Katie(after the PT pup because she looked just like her) she was never bought so she went to the humane society. i'm not sure what happend to her.

Around here they keep lowering the price till the dog sells. They charge $25 to drop a dog off to the humane society.

Many of them are sold to research facilities or "bunchers"--people who buy dogs/cats ect cheap or from "free to a good home" ads and then sell them to labs for a profit.

I have no idea.

I went to a pet store in June in Phoenix, Arizona, and it was HORRIBLE. It was in a mall, and the prices were almost all above $1000. There were maybe two or three that were between $600-$999. They had two beautiful GSD's there, for $850 and I'd say they were about 9 months old.
