I have been in many pet stores where depressed puppies are kept by themselves and in cages where nobody can touch them unless you look like you have money and a clerk will go get one for you. I have been to pet stores that try to be cute and put puppies in ridiculous bassinets treating them like babies but all that happens is that the puppies are sitting in their mess in these things. I bought my sheltie from Pets Galore because they don't use cages or puppy mills. They have these pens with soft pine on the floor and the puppies can eat together, play together and I can reach down and pet the puppies. These puppies are very friendly because they get lots of attention from everyone. I am sure that every single pet store and breeder sometimes get sick puppies but I get tired of all the negative stuff always showing up on these sites and decided to take the time to tell the other side.
Pros: No puppies in Cages, No Puppy Mills, friendly and knowledgeable staff
Cons: wish there was more parking
