puppys arnt products
hey guys 
yesterday i saw something that broke my heart (im an animal luver)
i went into a puppy store ….and the puppys looked horrible
they were covered in poo and pee……and they wernt getting attention or being luved, but if we stop buying from puppy stores , they will go out of buisness and the dogs wont be treated badly.

Could there be a place in the world for reputable pet stores that sell puppies or should it be illegal to sell dogs through stores? What are your thoughts?
As I write this to you, our dog, Zorro, a rescued and retired greyhound, keeps pushing his nose under my arm to get it off the computer so that he can be pet. Dogs!
I agree with you. Puppies, or kittens, or any other animal sold in pet stores aren’t projects. They all have the right to live happily in a loving home.
Animal lovers are a passionate breed of people, and I would find it hard to imagine that anyone would disagree with what you’re saying. Go to the pound, call a rescue agency, save a pet’s life. You don’t have to go a ‘puppy store’ to find the dog that you’ve always wanted.
Thanks for sharing this with us. All of us animal lovers appreciate it!

I couldn’t agree with you more! It is always heartbreaking to see animals in need of a good family of their own. Thank you for taking the time to share this message. My dog and I thank you!
I couldn’t agree with you more about rescuing a dog from the pound. I have owned 2 dogs in my adult lifetime (so far), and both of them were from rescue situations. Chloe, our first dog, was a lab/collie cross. She was the most gentle dog I have ever encountered, and a good “mother” to my two girls when they were young. Tucker, the dog we have now, is a black beagle/lab cross. He is incredibly intelligent! We call him our “pot-bellied bunny cat”. He snorts like a pig when you scritch him behind the ears, he loves to eat lettuce (especially the ribs from romaine lettuce), and he rubs up against you like a cat. Both dogs have certainly made our life, and family, more complete and enjoyable.
Thanks for suggesting that people consider “rescuing” a dog from the pound themselves. They are not always the “problem” dogs people often think them to be.

I have had many dogs in my life, some have been strays, pound puppies, and even a couple store bought. It is wonderful you care for these animals, so my question is, “What are you going to do about the store you visited?”

I honestly dont know what I’m going to do about the pet store, but I know something must be done.
It really does break my heart to see animals being mistreated
