Furthermore,adopting from a shelter helps reduce the demand for the commercial breeding of puppies and kittens. Recent horror stories reveal the truth about puppy mills where dogs are often crammed into dirty, undersized cages or stalls, forced to lie in their own feces and produce litter after lit- ter. Different breeds are often housed together resulting in the high risk of cross-breeding of dogs claimed to be “purebred” at the time of sale.It is a known FACT that many pet stores acquire their animals from such puppy mills and sell them to the public as purebred pups. If you feel you must have a purebred, contact your local kennel club and don’t pay money to a pet store or the guy at work who thought getting his dog pregnant would be an easy way to make money. Not only is this selfish on the part of the seller, but you could end up with a sick dog. (Reputable breeders research the genetic family history of dogs for genera- tions to ensure health) So if there’s room in your life for an animal companion,please visit your local animal shelter first - you may just find a friend for life.
