Selling Puppies, and a Pack of Lies

- We sent an undercover investigator with a hidden camera into every pet store in Virginia we could find that sells puppies…and found widespread deception, omissions and cover-ups -- all designed to dupe the public into buying expensive puppies from mills that treat dogs deplorably.
Help Stop Puppy Mills: bit.ly/1yyYXX5
this is why all my beautiful babies at Home are adopted from our local shelter💙
+Lyssa Riggs We love that you have chosen compassion over cruelty and to adopt, not shop! Keep up the great work! :)
+The Humane Society of the United States i know a friend that has a yorkshire terrier and since it was a year old they never stopped breeding her and then selling the puppies off, but there should be a law that one dog shouldnt breed after they have puppies in the same year. couldnt that harm the dog if she kept on breeding
i think its disgusting, its better of giving a dog a home from a pound then buying a pup from a petshop, breeder because you wouldnt know if it was sick or not
have a hermit crab
i love him
his name is bagel

WHY THEY DONT STOP PUPPY MILLS ? They know is cruelty and this horrible bussiness is going on forever. This will help stop the killing in the shelters.
Vanna Rocha one reason that they don't stop it is the money, you can get a lot of it for certain breeds. I'm NOT saying I agree with this horrible industry but was just trying to explain a little of why it's done. You are right about stopping it though, and as soon as possible.
money, in this world compassion is nothing, people like this climb to the top on a mountain of cruelty
In Belgium it's forbidden to sell dogs at petstores, you have to go to a certified breeder and buy them there.
The same in Germany!
I wish we would adopt the same policy in America...
Bless your countries they know the right way
In switzerland , its not allowed to sell dogs in petshop, the only thing you can buy in peyshops are food, accessories...etc.
margot B I'm also from Belgium! It's sad they still sell rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and birds at petstores tho.
In the UK, most pet stores do not actually sell dogs and cats because doing so encourages over breeding. I was surprised when i found out you can simply go into a pet store in the US and buy a dog. A business will treat everything as a means of getting profit.
That's terrible! I wish pet stores would just stop selling pets. This should be illegal! Pet stores promise healthy dogs and they're not keeping that promise!
breaks my heart , i am a lover of animals
***** Me too, it just sucks how they have to suffer. :/
It isn't? I totally thought it would be, condsidering that it would be a MASSIVE crime to treat humans like that.
We are proud to be part of the We Don't Sell Puppies Campaign!
I love how this video clearly states the issue and backs it up with truthful evidence. 🐶
A pet store close to me now only sells dogs and cats from the local animal shelter rather than bought from breeders. The changed it this year and I'm so happy about it :)
HorseCrazy Hi! We are so happy to hear that!!! We hope soon follow in their footsteps.
:) I hope so also. Hopefully this can stop puppy mills and breeders.
I hate pet stores like this, especially ones located in malls where people can compulsively buy animals that they are not prepared for or experienced enough to own, and when the puppies or kittens they've purchased outgrow their cute years they throw them away
I work at a petstore, and I am proud to say that we don't sell puppies. Instead we have a pound puppies reduce come bring in puppies that have been abandoned. They bring photos and stories of where the puppies come from, and it brings in just as many customers as a cute puppy in the window. We get plenty of sales from the food, toys, and accessories nessecary for a new puppy without having to sell puppy mill dogs. My store(there is a handful of us) actually convinced the owner to have us not sell any animals anymore. No fish, reptiles, birds or small mammals. We are a pro adoption petstore. For non-fuzzy animals. there's an adoption truck from our county's shelter that has all sorts of animals. It's air conditioned and they park out front and people can get on and look at the animals. It's really fun to go and play with them on your break. I'm waiting for them to bring by a hermit crab because I really want another.
Avbitten Hi! Thanks so much for watching our video and sharing your story. We are so happy to hear that your pet store doesn't sell puppy mill dogs and deals with abandoned ones instead. What a great idea! We hope others will follow in your footsteps!!
+The Humane Society of the United States Like like me
last year my father and I adopted a 5 year old pitbull mix from a humane center in California and he's the sweetest boy ever
I know theres always 'adopt dont shop' but if you REALLY want a puppy for the first time (like me, i waited, i kid you not, 6 years before my parents let me have a dog of ANY kind) I urge you to NEVER buy from a pet store. Our family did extensive research on humane breeders in our state and bought one after we triple checked that the breeder was not a puppy mill operator. Always do your research!!
To my subscribers: the reason I recommend you watch this video is because this applies to all animals. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, mice, ANY animal sold at a petstore. No good breeder would sell their animals to a petstore. No petstore employee is going to tell you the real story of where the pets are from.
Adopt, don't shop.
Anna's Animals Hi! Thanks so much for helping us spread the word about pet stores. So many people don't know what really goes on behind the scenes. We appreciate your help!
+The Humane Society of the United States - Did you go to "My Next Puppy" in Chantilly? It's not far from "Dreamy Puppy". It is assumed by many that their puppies are from puppy mills, but AFAIK there's not yet proof.
When you "adopt don't shop", what happens to the existing pet store pets and breeder pets who don't sell? Because they need loving homes too.
And before you give me the schpeel about how buying a pet will fund the market for the puppy mill, I KNOW THAT. I'm asking what happens to the existing pets who don't sell, and if there is a practical way to give them desirable homes without funding the very industry that abuses their biological family members.
carultch - this is exactly how they get customers and stay in business.
So what actually happens, at least ideally and in one case that I know of? One of the pet stores near us got investigated. The animals were inspected, seized, held for a while (with vet care and all that) during all of the legal proceedings - and eventually put up for adoption through our local (almost-no-kill but essentially no-kill) shelter. Being adorable, very young puppies, I'm pretty sure there were lines out the door to adopt them.
Here's an article about them being up for adoption after the court case(s): wtop.com/fairfax-county/2016/05/puppies-seized-from-fairfax-pet-store-now-ready-for-homes/ and here's the followup post from the shelter, with much of the same info as that article: facebook.com/FairfaxCountyAnimalShelter/posts/1272539839440936%3A0
But in less ideal cases - I've *heard* that the un-adopted, un-purchased puppies may get sent back to the mills and killed. I've not yet seen independent proof of this. What does seem to happen is that the puppies' prices get marked down until they sell, or the store gives them away (see bestfriends.org/resources/pet-store-puppies-why-you-shouldnt-rescue-one).
On a related note - why not to buy pet store puppies - here's a public court document from that recent case near us, discussing the health of the puppies seized from the store in question.

Both of my dogs i got from the shelter one had broken ribs and bones and since he has been with us he's healed and now walks normally again when i first saw him i cried and we knew we had to pick him
Brandon Rilie Hi! Thanks so much for watching our video. We are so thrilled to hear that you got your dogs from a shelter. There are so many great animals there just waiting for homes. Keep up the great work!

I remember being in Italy once when I was about 6 years old and all I wanted at that age was a puppy. Where I live you can't really buy any anymals from stores like you showed in the video. We went to a small mall in wich they had an animal shop. I was there and saw the cutest little puppy sitting in a small glass cage (the ground was not much bigger than an A4 paper sheet). It was sitting in there on some shreds of a news paper and I think it didn't even have food, just a little cup of water. I -as a 6 year old- of course wanted to rescue it from the mistreatment and begged my mom to buy it.
My sister was only 3 years older but has always been smarter and simply told me: "Don't. If you buy it there will just be a new one replacing it." That truth struck me with a force I had never known before.
Since then my knowlege about the things animals endure has slowly grown and my wish to change those things with it. I can't believe all the stuff that's going on that so little people know about.( Dolphin slaughterings, animals that are being bent and stretched to fit our view of 'cute', chicken industry all over...)
This is all so terrifying and I feel like I'm trying to move a mountain. Whatever I do, it's not enough... I see this world dying right in front of me and there's nothing I can do to stop it...
Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way?!
Flowers in in my lungs you aren't, I keep trying to find a way of helping in even the smallest of ways.
Nu. Și eu am o durere imensă in suflet. Este cumplit cât de mult râu este in lumea asta
My two babies came from two of those stores. One came from Pet go Round and the other from Family Pet. They came to me as rescues through a rescue because they were deemed unfit for sale and were going to be sent back to the breeder where they would have been killed. Today, Miss Muggles is a happy beautiful 7 year old girl and Phoebe will celebrate her 6th birthday next month. I was going to get another little girl "Lily" (what I named her) from Pet Go Round again as a rescue but while in surgery, she ultimately succumbed to her illness and passed away. My life has been filled with educating people and bringing awareness to the conditions these fur babies are born into, Thank you so much for this video!
TheFloridagirl09 Hi! Thank you for watching our video and sharing your story. Please check your inbox. Thanks!!!
it makes me sick to my stomach to think that we live in a society that don't care about animals..but I know this much..I have 3 rescued Doggies in my home & one little kitten & they know more than people do cause they know how to love...they can't talk & tell ya that they don't feel good or that they are sick, but they can sure show their love & not say one word....I wouldn't trade them for all these people that have no feellings..these folks have their day comin..still say they should be locked up & throw the keys away...
I always adopt from a shelter but my family loves Rottweilers. We get them from a Rottweiler rescue though.
U ain't getting blond champion 100% Rottweiler. U getting cross breed or mixed only.
THE MECHANIC And what's so wrong with that?
that guy " if you want to make money, you can't care about animals."
me. " if you want to be a decent human being you should care about animals"
We didnt adopt our two kitties, but thats because my mother wanted a specific breed, that would be ideal to live indoors (british short hair) we visited every shelter possible around us and did a lot of research, before we visited a local breeder and informed ourselves throughly, the cats were living in paradise, and went from a paradise to a even bigger paradise, they live in a big flat with two teraces and lots of attention and playtime for three years now >~< It never crossed our minds to buy at a pet store, because it wouldn't be clear from where they were from.
I actually respect the guy that told the truth. He wasn’t hiding anything
I'm glad I am taking care of a six-year-old Yorkshire terrier now. He was formerly abused and I really hated it that his owners overfed him and physically abused him. More worse, they even let his teeth rot. During the first week of stay at my house, he had already dropped two of his teeth. Horrible.
. ALWAYS RESCUE! dont shop, adopt! There are millions of beautiful and amazing dogs and puppies that need forever homes. (Even purebreeds) never buy from a pet store which gets their dogs from puppy millls.
Help support amazing rescues
I never ever go to pet stores. I only get pets from animal rescue centres. I rescued a tortoise once! I was walking down the street on a 43degrees day and I saw a baby tortoise who had burned his feet. I took him home and now I have a pet tortoise! He now is happy and has a nice home with my other tortoise. We named him Weetabix!
We got one of our dogs Mick, is his name, from a lady who had found him off the streets, and we think he was abused or not taken we'll care of.
On the other hand, we have Maverick, a dumb (not brains) German shepherd, we got him from our grandpa... He was being passed down from people to people until to our grandpa... My dad says we were paid to get him.
Both our dogs are great and I KNOW for a fact that one day when I grow up, I will volunteer here. My dogs walar on beds... When we are sleeping and are very GREAT AND HYPER guard dogs. They let NO ONE GO BY THE MAIL BOX OR ELSE, God blesses u all HSUS,!
When I was in Elementary School, I wrote a story about ending puppy mills. It ends with kids taking a sledgehammer to the very last puppy mill building and rescuing all the doggies inside, and they were all so happy and they just bolted from the building. The "humans" running the puppy mill all go to jail in the end, too. :) I am hopeful that something like that could happen, and that, unlike in the story, it will be before 2050. (The end of the story took place in 2052. The setting for the story started in the 1950's.)
That's where I get mine ... they are good good dogs that love in a special way that only they can express . Hannah my recent dog came to the shelter with unadoptable issuses, an abuse case, heartworm positive and highstrung ,she was going on 3 years old , not a cute little puppy anymore and being a Shepard mix well her hyperness wasn't cute .
Well that was back in march of this year , to date she is the most loyal girl and loves her family to moon and back again . She still suffers fear of storms but kenneling her has given her a safe retreat . I love shelter dogs and if you can please seek your next best bud there first . They will pay you back three fold in their love and devotion.
a heartbreaking and an ongoing plague throughout America and all over the world...We can and Do make a difference,if we can touch just one more person we double in size...
This needs to be more well known. The common person still believes the lies pet store employees feed to them, both about the sources of their animals, and care and welfare.
You get um. Make them pay. Shut them all down. Anyone who could be cruel to an animal, does not deserve to be in this world. Thank you so much for your work.
this is why I brought my dog from a private breeder where we could see the mother and the father of the puppies
Watch this video to see where pet shop puppies actually come from. Adopt don't buy!
wow
don’t all puppies deserve a home though? I have mixed thoughts about that motto
I hate this subject... :/ I always feel bad for the poor puppies that are just pawns in this horrible business that puppy Mills are involved in. But I also know adopting is the best option. I know that buying a puppy from a mill will just encourage "breeders" but I can't help but feel awful for those poor puppies who have no choice in this at all.
The whole notion of breeding and selling living beings is amazingly disgusting. Cant stand to see them sitting in those cages like they are inanimate objects. Heartbreaking.
Only pet-store around us only sells food and toys, and we have 5 shelters around us. Both my cat's were shelters, and they are very cute.
I have a cat from a shelter, and it was the best thing I ever did. The personality and thankfulness you get from a shelter animal is like no other. ADOPT, DON'T SUPPORT ANIMAL CRUELTY!
It's horrible how soul less some people can be just to make money. Restrictions need to be strengthened in the US to make these impossible to stay in business.
This makes me feel ashamed of living near a pet store that had all of this. I would go to one pet shop all the time when I was young, I still go there to this day. I went to the pet shop today and noticed the rabbits and the “habitat” they lived in was all gone, just glass boxes. Then my uncle said he read an article on a pet shop in Virginia that one of the shops were giving some customers diseases because of the rabbits. We are not sure it is the pet store I go to but seeing the rabbits and the habitat missing, that is a very large hint it might be that store. I got nibbles on by one of the rabbits the week before they put the rabbits away, I hope it was just nibbling and not spreading a disease. I do not buy from these sort of stores, just fish. (Btw the kittens they were selling seemed to not have been cleaned in a long time. Their fur was grouped in little chunks as if they were getting matted. I would consider thinking of visiting Petland in mantua, Fairfax, Virginia)
I'm so glad you have exposed these CRUEL MORONS.all they want is money,it's a Liberty what these poor dogs suffer.
my uncle has a pet store and a chicken farm at the pet store he ACTUALLY takes puppies from people who don't love them and he also saves chickens
People need to be informed. Good job! We support the ongoing work of HSUS, with our voices - and our checkbook. Support/foster/adopt/lobby for stronger laws against puppy mills, and the prosecution of animal abuse - dogfighting in particular. Send a message that cruel is NOT cool..in any way, shape or form. Our brother creatures deserve kindness and caring.
Never bought a pet at a pet store. My cats we're rescued from an abusive home and my dogs we're bought from friends who breed dogs.
Madyson Tortorella. my dog is from my cousins friend who buyed my dog but didn't want him anymore so my cousin asked us to come over and see if we want to dog and guess what...WE GOT HIM
So sad but I'm grateful that more and more are aware and trying to solve the whole issue
We have a pet store just like this in Towson. It's called "Just Puppies". Very tiny and cramped shop, with both window and glass door covered so you can't see inside until you walk in. My mom took me there years ago because I wanted a puppy and there were none at both shelters we visited. It didn't even take me 2 minutes to understand what was going, mind you this was years ago and I didn't even know what puppymills were. Most of their puppies were underweight and sick looking, not to mention the horrible smell and tiny cages. I got out of there so fast and never went back. Still have never owned a dog, but have now adopted a cat.
MsLalaUsagi. that's sad with those small cages💔👎
so I am the gentleman quoted as saying ".... you cant make money and care about animals" In context the conversation was like this; in reference to the person with the camera asking me if we do really well, in short we do well enough for me to rent from a friend and pay my bills and employ a few people. I have actually never "made" any money that could be referred to as profit. This was what I actually said; "There is a clear line in this industry. We don't cross that line, and we have decided to put the care of animals before profits. We hang in there.... because you cant make money in this business if you care about animals." Its funny to me because all of my animals in my store are healthy, and you couldn't find anything wrong with my store, the puppies or who bred them so you're answer is to take my words out of context to make me look bad. The funny thing is that states like missouri, kentucky, and tennessee all know they are home to puppy mills. Shut them down!! All that passing legislation prohibiting the sale of dogs by retail locations is doing is making these "brokers" sell them out of their homes. There are several websites that OWN houses throughout the country and sell their puppies through private residences. Then you have absolutely ZERO legal recourse if the puppy you bought is sick or worse.
bullshit
so where do the puppies you sell come from then?
awww even if I didn't want that sick puppy I will still ADOPT that little hound puppy dog
We got our last dog from a family friend who believed we could take better care of him. His name was Indy and he was a Golden Retriever. We loved Indy but had some strange health issues despite only being a year old. For one, he was always dragging one of his legs and seemed to have a very low stamina. One day, he got very sick and died before the vet could figure out what was wrong with him. He was two years old and it seems unlikely that he would have died from cancer. I can't help be feel as though he came from one of these puppy mills which is why he was so sickly.
If you live in London the best place to get dogs that are probably not from puppy mills is this place called Woodgreen Animal Shelter have dogs cats and all types of animals but instead of getting them from pet stores in puppy mills they get them from from other people who want to rehome their dog or animal
my dad was a veterinarian and one of the malls he said if you dont comply by my rules i'm going to stop treating your animals. he stopped treating them.,
Well.. My dog (German Shepherd) was from puppy mill thing and the paper in 0:52 that's the paper we got from.
We bought a kitten from a PetLand in our area, and they told us he was just a tabby they got from a local breeder. I looked at him and thought it was a bit strange as he didn't really look like a tabby, but we bought him anyways. We later got him checked by a vet and she told us he was a hybrid, part Asian Leopard and part Bengal. We loved him dearly and had him for a long time, but it goes to show that these pet stores will lie to get money, they don't care about the animals at all.
There is a pet store called the Pet Fair in the Woodlands mall that I’ve been to many times. Every time I go there I feel so bad for the animals because they’re all sick and have many health issues,bad conditioning in there,etc. I’m trying to get people to spread the word about this and maybe get people to sign a petition to stop this madness. Please spread the word and sign this petition so we can help these poor animals. #DontshopAdopt!
What happens to the puppys & kittens if they're not bought at these stores?
The only places I see around me are shelters, I've never seen an actual pet shop. There are people who sell their dog's puppies or other animals on the local market, but they're not mistreated that way. Also, we have a couple of places that sell farm animals or animals like horses, hamsters, and bunnies. I always feel bad for the bunnies because nobody wants the big ones, so there's a giant pen of bunnies.
I live in Virginia and my dad got our dog at a pet store in the mall. I was 10 and didn't even know puppy mills were a thing. I just saw a cute puppy and didnt even care where we got him from. It's honestly sad that this isn't more well known.
When I get older I'm gonna live on a farm and adopt about 5 dogs they will be able to run around they will have food and water everyday and have a shelter for each one (I will adopt dogs from shelters) I will open my heart and help this is horrible if I could I would go to a shelter and adopt all of them and feed them all food water and treats for trying because they are strong and deserve love.
In the Uk we get our dogs from local people who have a dog that decides to have puppies, we usually don't breed dogs for than two or three times. Is there a link to sign a petition?
The employee that summed up the case spoke the truth.
I get my gerbils through a breeder in my area and they love them and the gerbils I pick are very human friendly and they want their cuddles. When I am ready for a dog I am going to adopt from a shelter.
We have 3 animals and none of them were adopted...
Surprised? Shouldnt be cause we didnt buy them either! We have a labrador chihuahua mix and a german sheperd and rottweiler mix and a calico cat the lab-huahuas name is august but we sometimes also call her augie the german rott-perds name is Mocha i call he smochie alot and our calico cat is named Bailey! We got mocha in the mountains when she was so small and cute from someone so loving and caring she wouldnt give them to the pound. She even offered to give mocha to us for free! I do believe we gace her the money anyways though :P and bailey came from one of the elderly members of our church we had to catch them cause they would hang outside alot and were very young but eligible to move. She still looks like a kitten actually! What makes her cute these days is that no matter the light her pupils and eyes are always wide open. Random person:Adopt, Look, Sho*Car movie stopping noise* Me:WAIT A SECOND! NO! DONT SHOP!
The lesson here is: DON’T TRUST PET SHOPS! Run them out of business by adopting. Less money for the soulless and more love for the world!
Thats also why you should never give a recorded statement to an insurance company.
Adopt from a shelter but if you must have a certain breed there are plenty of rescues for common breeds! Sometimes they have puppies too!
My pet was unhealthy when we got him too. He's not a dog, or a puppy. He's a kitten. His ears were infected and he might need surgery on his stomach later. Im scared.
I would be like "REAAAALLLLLLY? IS IT? CMON SPILL IT!"
This makes me sad. My dogs were both adopted. One was from my brother's neighbor. Her female dog got out before she could be spayed and she decided to keep the puppies and give them away when they were of age. The other one my grandma found in California in a pile of rubble. and brought her back home to Washington. They are my "babies" and I can't imagine them having lives like that. I want more dogs to love but my current situation prevents me from adopting more. instead, I donate $5 monthly to my local shelters/pet rescues. I know it's not much but I like to think I make a difference.
I have a dog from the local shelter. The light of my life. Best decision I've made. Never gonna get a dog from anywhere else.
omg i live in va and ive been to some of those places. so sad :(
Protest them!! Let people see what they are really buying!!
um.... i went to the one in va beach for vacay. cant go anymore.
well not until next summer
Thank you so much for finally a video that explains what a puppy mill actually is! I will share this video to everyone I know.
Ashley E. Hi! Thank you so much for watching and sharing our video. We appreciate your support!!
These pet stores along with their puppy mills, should be charged with animal cruelty raided by the police and shut down
The man say they need to sell there's soul is not only soul they sell there's 💓💓💓 and they don't have no dignity !Pappy Mills BIG SHAME!Thank you HUMANE SOCIETY you are doing great job ! 💓💓💓💓💓
wow I can't watch this without to cry...
Criminal activity. Despicable.
Admit it, if PEOPLE were treated like this by some people, what would the punishment be?
Either prison for life or death row
I live in Virginia and one of the pet stores that was listed I have been to and I can’t believe this! I only adopt from the spca and not pet store but I still can’t believe that we do this it’s so unfair and terrible
Poor puppies! Hopefully these guys can be saved!
I work in a pet center and we sell puppies. Its family owned and operated and i can personally say we do not get our puppies from puppy mills. Ive actually gone with the owner herself to go pick up the puppies. We have been with the same breeders for almost 30 years.
Not ALL puppy stores have puppy mill puppies. I would NEVER work somewhere that did.
aww poor dogs 😭 they deserve better
Thank goodness in the uk that you have to buy puppies and kittens straight from the breeder and not from pet stores.
I will cry I will hug my Bassett hound
Pet store dogs need homes too, though. You can't just leave them.
Sellers don't love their puppies...Only the money they can make... :(
We got our doggos from breeders, and we went to the location directly and saw all the dozens of happy doggos running freely around a large plot of land, I know We couldve adopted, but the owner clearly loved them and wanted to be sure they were going to a good home. I would definitely consider adopting when im an adult tho. I hate petsmart and large pet corporations, and I’m never going to even think about supporting them again just how they treat not only dogs and cats, but how careless and heartlessly the companies’ policies treat fish, rodents, and small reptiles (very much so fish). I’m not even a fish person, I don’t want have them, but god damn it, they are living animals that need to be treated properly.
All puppy mills should be shut down and the owners jailed.
It's sad how you want to help the animals by taking them away from the stores and by doing that u are opening up more room for more dogs to breed and more dogs that go through abuse.... It's just horrible to think about
Alternatively, find a local, trusted breeder and get your animals from them. If you're willing to drive, there are a lot of great resources online to find breeders.
I actually adopted my pups from a family friend that breeds dogs.She takes really good care of them and all of her dogs and puppies are very healthy.So I personally like buying dogs from breeders and sometimes shelters
That is so selfish! Why didn't you go to a shelter? How would you like to be forced to be pregnant to make money for someone then to have your babies stolen?
I prefer to adopt a dog. My mom bought a Yorkshire terrier from this lady for a $100, but as it turned out, the little guy had parvovirus. This is why you should adopt.
pet-go-round is very near to where i live, and several times ive asked them where they get their puppies from. it's never surprising when they always get them from "different breeders" and blatantly lie to my face. it's horrible whenever i see someone walk out with a dog from there, but i know they're saving that dog's life. i wish shit like this would end.

Where I live we found a pet store that are RENTING animals...baby animals rented to families for their little kids for 2 weeks just like getting a book at the library, it breaks my heart, we're a bunch of people that tried to make this end but they're nasty people and they're convinced they do the right thing..it's sick.!!!! Animal stores should sell only accessories and food nothing else, not animals for goodness sake!
in the uk its illegal to by dogs and cats from prt stores because of this 1 reason
why would any buy a dog adopt so much better
*there was a pet store in my area called pet land and they had dogs in crates to were they only had about enough room for them and the food dish. oh and the floor on the cages where wire. some of them had matted fur and some had yellow gunk in the eyes. in some cages there were moms with about 5-8 babies and they were all cramped. when employees got the dogs out so you could hold them, they would grab them by the legs really quick! some were dizzy after being handled like that! and when you got to hold them they seemed scared out of their minds and would cower in the corner. ADOPT DON'T SHOP! *
I have never seen a petstore that sells puppies. Thankfully they seem to be rare here. All the ones I go to have shelter's out front with their dogs instead.
I think the smaller, lesser known puppy stores sells them, but places like Petsmart does not sell dogs
I have a little Bassett hound
24 PetWatch Dog insurance comes from CANADA.
It's so sad look at all the dogs getting captured and getting sick and no food wow this is bad
Puppy Barn in American Fork has been selling puppies and two of them died from Distemper and Parvo!!!! I want someone to go down there and shut it down, they sell puppies 5 weeks and younger, lots of puppies have died down there.
what about the poor puppies in pet stores? its not there fault their there
I've always adopted, never bought a pet. 🐶 save the babies!
