Do Not Buy Your puppy From a Pet Store
That puppy who charmed u through the pet koop window has most likely come from a large-scale, substandard commercial breeding facility, commonly known as a puppy mill. In these facilities, parent dogs are caged and bred as often as possible, and give birth to puppies who could have costly medical problems u might not become aware of until after u bring your new pet home.
Make Adoption Your First Option
If you’re looking to make a puppy part of your family, check your local shelters first. Not only will u be saving a life, but u will ensure that your money is not going to support a puppy mill. There are many dogs waiting for homes in shelters all across the country—and an estimated one in four is a purebred! Your seconde option is breed rescue. If your hart-, hart is set on a specific breed u haven’t been able to find in a shelter, u can do an Internet zoek for a breed-specific rescue organization.
Internet Buyers, Beware!
Buying a puppy from the Internet is as risky as buying from a pet store. If u buy a puppy based on a picture and a phone call, u have no way of seeing the puppy’s breeding premises of meeting his parents. And those who sell animals on the Internet are not held to the Animal Welfare Act regulations, and so are not inspected door the USDA.
