Help an Animal // Never Buy Animals From Pet Stores or Breeders
More Ways to Help
When you buy from a pet shop, you kill a pound pup. It’s that simple. Save a life instead. Adopt from an animal shelter if you have the time and resources to care for a dog. Purchase supplies only from stores that don’t sell dogs, cats, fish, or other small animals.
Urge pet stores to sell only supplies, not living animals. Ask them to team up with local shelters—by displaying shelter animals who are up for adoption. Until they do, let them know you will purchase supplies only from stores that don’t sell live animals.
