Not all pet stores sell from puppy mills. There is one close to my home that only takes puppies from the local shelters and rescue groups. But, unfortunately, most do.

@awayps They are given away or dumped at a shelter . . . Might be a kill-shelter, where an older dog has no hope for a life, especially if it's lived all of it's 'training' months as a cute little puppy inside a glass cage in a retail store!

@Strictlypointless Inbreeding causes many of the grave illnesses and genetic diseases, from Puppy Mills.

@my2angels1 Yes, as you say not all, but MOST do. Thankfully many pet stores now are beginning to coordinate regular adoption events with local shelters and rescue groups, which often have pure breeds or 'designer' pups available, and hopefully one day puppy mills will no longer exist. This abuse of innocent beings also includes cats and kittens.  Sad and Wrong!

Sorry, This was not an effective video. If you SELL puppy's YOU are a part of the Puppy Mill problem. Puppy Mills can contain hundreds of dogs or just be some dope hoping to make a buck selling 'paperless' dogs in the newspaper. Again. Key Word: SELLING. The only justifiable reason to ASK for a Donation would to be to cover expenses you voluntarily incurred to vaccinate, spay or neuter, heart worm, etc.

Well, they are not entirely correct…ALL of the puppies are from puppy mills. NO REPUTABLE BREEDER WOULD EVER SELL THEIR PUPPIES TO PET STORES!!! If you want a particular breed, find a breed rescue. Otherwise adopt from a shelter. You are not saving any dogs by buying them from a pet store. You are only encouraging the puppy mills to put out more puppies to sell at the pet store. Please educate yourselves. Google "puppy mills" and find out why we are so passionate about this!

Puppy mills = puppy hell. There is a store close to me called I HEART PUPPIES in Corona del Mar that sells puppy mill dogs. They need to get their puppies from the shelter. Hybrid puppies are better anyhow. I hope we can persuade them to do so!

@jdregula They don't profit from them. Their profit comes from selling their merchandise. When people know that the pet shop is not buying from puppy mills then, people are more likely to shop in the pet shop. Go to the Best Friends Video channel and you will see a video on it.

@my2angels1 If they are selling those dogs for profit they should be ashamed of themselves.
