why isn't this stopped?

I think everyone is making very good points here. This is a good, constructive discussion. But, well....working at very low-wage Walmart with no benefits and a company that rapes the economy of small towns ....truck drivers make a much better living than any Walmart employee, I can tell you that!! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

And its very sad, because breeders are expensive, and many people, no matter how much love a dog is worth can't pay a thousand dollars. And not only that, but it is sad in pet stores seeing pets locked in 4 x 4 cages all day (or less room!)! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

In most cases breeders are cheaper than the pet store puppies, especially if you're looking for a pet quality dog.  Not to mention that there are breed rescues out there as well.  You may have to drive a few extra miles but it is well worth the peace of mind to know that the pup you have came from a good place.  And if the breeder doesn't ask you to fill out an application....unless you know that person well, I wouldn't buy from that particular breeder. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 5/28/2006 8:52:17 AM I've seen purebred dalmations and siberian huskies at the Sherman Animal Shelter. Cost of adoption, $44. Includes adoption, rabies vacc, and spay/neuter at one of the supporting vets.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
