No Pups for Sale? Cities Ban Pet Shops

Most people don’t realize that buying a puppy from a pet store usually means you are directly supporting a puppy mill.  These dogs are kept in disgusting and inhumane conditions.  Once the breeding females reach the point where they can no longer be bred, they are usually killed, abandoned, or sold to another puppy mill.  Health and behavior problems are often seen in these dogs as the result of over breeding. 

Pet stores, as well as internet sites, will purchase these puppies for very cheap prices and sell them at outrageously high prices. 

Please adopt or purchase from a reputable breeder!
