Right on their main page they state "Before buying a puppy please check out pets for adoption online at www.petfinder.com". And "Our breeders breed for QUALITY and not QUANTITY.
We highly encourage spaying/ neutering your pet to stop over population of animals.
We ask people who visit our website to please visit www.petfinder.org before purchasing a puppy."

Pitty Party
I signed it
I put in my two cents
I signed the petition as well. Thanks for drawing attention to the matter. Let's hope for a con·sci·en·tious outcome.
I like the comment written by one of the petitioners. It read something like, the Titan and his mother should have to volunteer at a puppymill rescue. I TOTALLY like that idea. Someone should get that kid straight before he loses sight of what is important. and NOW.
Imagine what he'll be like... ---if he's getting fame and "fortune" and magazine coverage at a young age now--- what will he require later on in life??? *shudder* and at the sake of running a puppymill, making sales over the internet...

Post Haste
As I am a dog momma v. having children, I responded and signed the petition before even looking at the webpage that the article was shining on. After briefly reviewing, I am still positive about signing the petition, though feel like a bit of an *cough, cough* idiot. I appreciate the things that Elaine pointed out, even if I didn't learn until expos factos.
Anyhoo, whatever it takes to make safer, stronger, healthier and more loving environments for our pets, while educating pet owners, I am all for it. I'll stop here. For now....

I guess you missed the fact that I brought these two threads together, didn't you?
As long as people adopt pets they don't want, they'll be dumping them on the sides of the roads, putting them to sleep and giving them up to shelters for compassionate people to adopt and foot the bill for. As long as people keep buying from puppy mills, pet stores, and breeders, all of the above will keep spitting them out. The fault lies with the pet owner. Not the breeder, not the store, not the shelters.
Do you really think if we shut down all of the breeders that there would be no more homeless or stray pets? It's an endless battle. There is no answer. Only a bunch of whiny azz babies running around complaining and shoving useless petitions in everyone's face.

Volunteer at the pound, help out a rescue org., and make it socially unacceptable to dispose of a pet just because it's become inconvenient to you. Educate people about the fate of unwanted puppies and kittens and the dog they've dropped off at the pound. Show them what happens to a dog when it was free to a good home
