Pet stores that care about puppies don't sell them. That's because the majority of pet stores that sell puppies carry dogs from cruel and inhumane puppy mills. Puppy mills are like dog-making factories with the mother dogs spending their entire lives in cramped cages or kennels with little or no personal attention or quality of life. When the mother and father dogs can no longer breed, they are discarded or killed. Consumers who purchase puppies from pet stores or over the Internet without seeing a breeder's home firsthand are often unknowingly supporting this cruel industry.
Help stop this cycle of cruelty simply by choosing to adopt your next pet from a shelter or rescue, or by only purchasing a dog from a responsible breeder who will show you where your puppy was born and raised. And that's not all—you can do even more by refusing to buy pet supplies from any store or website that sells puppies. Where you spend your dollars makes a difference. Make a statement when you shop!

Well said! Everyone should read this!!!
I hve always been apposed to puppy mills and I can't stand the pet shops in our town which you know darn well are not selling you dogs under the right circumstances! I can't stand seeing the dos stuck in small cages overnight either or the ones sitting in hot glass windows in the heat. I always have something to say when I pass people going in or out of those kind of stores (them not me) and it really gets on my skin. People really need to educate themselves and boycot these places and perhaps think about adoption too!
