Pet Store Puppy

[Donna1969]

there is a special place in HELL

for those "people" who do such cruel things to animals. To breed a female until she has no life left is unacceptable! To let these BYB's and puppy mills churn out litter after litter is mindboggling.

As sad as it is, until each and every person REFUSES to by pups and kittens from pet shops and the like, this practice and these sad sad stories will continue. Actually not buying ANYTHING from these places would push them right out of business.

I no longer by anything (toys, etc) from any place that has puppies and kittens. I guess it takes one person at a time.

Donna is right...let's run them all out of business. Thank you for sharing this story!

New here and just read this.

Sadly I bought my dog Baxter from a pet store not realizling at the time that I was contributing to the problem of puppy mills and BYB's. He had a sister there they said wasn't "cleared by their vet" for sale and I often wonder what happened to her. It's almost scary how coincidental this story is. Baxter had kennel cough and a stomach parasite when we had him vet checked. That was nearly five years ago. Fortunately he quickly recovered and has turned out to be a great dog. Shame on these greedy people!!!

This story is very sad :(
im a little confused though.

In australia (where i work in particular) the puppies all have vaccinations and health checks the conditions they are kept in are usually excellent (of course there are exceptions). Most puppies are taken home and 'forstered' of a night till they find a new home. My boss dosnt 'get rid' of them, they are always in store (if a day) until a new home is found....

Are these conditons alot different in other countries??
