I walk in there occasionally just to pet the puppies. I would never buy a pet from a pet shop. I already have 2 puppy mill dogs and I have spent in excess of $8,000 treating health problems like ear infections and bad knees. They had this 4 month old puppy, one of those tiny breeds, in an open display case and it was coughing, trying to vomit, and just pathetically lethargic. I picked it up and it just flopped over on me. It could barely pick up his head. The sales girl walked over to me and told me it was on sale and really needed a home. What that dog needed was a vet! I put it back down and it just lay there motionless with its eyes open while the other puppies bounced all over it and nipped at it.
