SAY NO TO PET SHOPS, especially Russo's @ Fashion Island.
Whenever I visit Russo's, I notice that their puppies' eyes are always pure shot red. They are SAD and lonely. Their eyes say it. Hmm gee I wonder why they're so stressed all the time. Well, it's because they came from puppy mills.
Note: Russo's at Fashion Island closed a few years back because of some lawsuit!!
9/10 dogs sold at pet stores were born in puppy mills. Say, what is a puppy mill? A puppy mill is a huge breeding place for dogs. These dogs have been kept in TINY cages with other puppies. They are confined to these cages for until they are "shipped" to a pet store. These dogs often come with diseases and after bought, get very ill. A friend of mine bought a beautiful German Shepherd from this same exact store, a few months ago. This puppy was healthy at first, then something was eating his leg. My friend spent over $5000 for this dog's surgery and medical bills. After a few weeks, he died :(
If you're looking for a new pet, PLEASE please adopt!!! There are thousands, perhaps even million, of pets who are stuck in city pounds & animal shelters, waiting for a nice family. If they are not adopted within a certain # of days, they are euthanized. So go to www.petfinder.org to save a dog or cat's life.
