We got Sylvia from a pet store, which I'm more than a little embarrassed to say. It was back in June, but in the past months I have educated myself a lot more about puppy mills and overpopulation.
As a matter of fact, it didn't take even a month before I felt guilty and talked my parents into letting us adopt a dog from a shelter. Harley is from a shelter about 45 minutes from my house. In a way it was good that we got Sylvia from a pet store because if we didn't I would have never saved Harley from the shelter. If I didn’t see Sylvia in the pet store I would have gotten a Boston Terrier from a breeder which we were supposed to see in a few days. I read in the Pug book that Pugs like company and the rest is history. This is the first time I have owned two dogs!
