Since I was a little girl, I often visted my local Pet City and spent as much time as I could staring at the little dogs in tiny, cramped cubicles. I noticed none of them looked particularly healthy - half of them sulked in corners, and the other half lunged at the glass separating us, whimpering and begging me to take them home. Of course, my parents never let me. After I found out about puppy mills, I never went back to Pet City again. Instead, I took in an abandoned Westie from the streets, and he has never had any health problems. I completely support and encourage adoption from shelters, and I would never advise anyone to buy from a pet store.
