CamCamPup33,

I'm supposing they would never go to see the "puppies for
sale" if a person REALLY wanted to get a dog from a Shelter.

I'm also supposing that whomever adopts the dog is an adult
that can fully support & care for the dog themselves & not
depend on any one else to do it.

In this discussion, I've only been thinking of adults who would be
ultimately responsible for the choice.
