Some dogs in pet stores come from puppy mills. A puppy mill is a place where they breed female dogs and sell there puppies at pet stores. At puppy mills dogs live their whole lives there. Small wired cages are stacked on top of each other holding up to five dogs. The dogs paws are swollen from getting stuck in the wire! Plus in Pennsylvania you are allowed to shoot your dog.

But not all pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills. So ask the manager or a worker who works at the pet store if the dogs came from a puppy mill.

You should adopt a dog at the shelter instead of at a pet store.
