Looking to adopt a pet?
*Please don't support stores that support the puppy mill industry. I recommed that you do all of your local pet supply shopping at Petsmart, Petco, CO-OPs. My reasons: pet stores sell puppies. I have no concrete proof of where they get the puppies. One of the clerks at one of these stores said they all come from Missouri but that they do not come from Puppy Mills. Amazingly many of the puppy mills are in Missouri, and Pennsylania, with most the rest of the mid-west having the remainder, over 10,000 puppy mills. Check out Animal World at http://www.animalworldusa.org/puppy.htm for more details of what goes on at these mills. Please adopt or find a reputable breeder who will let you see the dog's environment.
Hundreds of loving dogs and cats are euthanized at animals shelters each month!
