Adoption from shelter rescues versus buying or having a litter 
 
 LITTERING
                           excuse...."I find great homes for the litter"-  if they are such great homes, and if these people really
                           wanted an animal- they would have gone to the pound... but no -you let you cat/dog take homes and life away from shelter animals. 
                           AND.. are you sure those "great homes" you found are going to spay or neuter the new pet?  Chances are- you
                           just killed thousands of animals... because those babies have babies- and so on and so on

  PUPPY STORE = PUPPY
                           MILL DOG
 Those cute little puppies at the mall and other puppy stores...come
                           from puppy mills.  SO you spend a grand (or more ) on a dog ( but
                           it has a warranty- like a TV )  but in a few years or maybe sooner... all the health problems come up. These problems
                           come from bad breeding, bad conditions at the puppy mill, and many other factors.  Try looking on Petfinder (see link
                           below)look in your animal shelters and humane society ...   I could sit and type all day about  Puppy Stores
                           but there are sites up that have done it for me... please look at all the links below... and do your own research... don't
                           take it from me...do your own  GOOGLE
