There is a shop in the same neighborhood as our store that sells puppies. Sometimes they put the puppies on sale for 20% off. They tell customers that the puppies come from "breeders." I have talked to several people who have purchased animals from this shop, only to have their new dog suffer from congenital defects and serious health problems.

No reputable breeder would sell their dogs through a pet store. I try to keep this blog positive, but each day I drive by this store I become more and more angry. I want to tell everyone I know that these cute puppies come from ugly origins and buying them only perpetuates animal cruelty. Buying them creates demand for puppy mill dogs.

I hope that you will understand why I am placing this information here on my blog. I love dogs so much, I want to urge everyone to support the Humane Society's effort to fight back against puppy mills.

If you are thinking of getting a puppy, read their helpful tips on selecting your dog. Make it a policy not to buy from pet stores or from online "breeders." Your new best friend will love you for it.
