Ahh you guys were typing Petsmart, so I assumed you were talking about Petsmart LOL You know, some people dont even know what a Puppy Mill is?
Zoe is an ex-breeder dog from a puppymill, and she is the saddest case I've ever seen. It took YEARS for her to trust, and after 8 years, she is *almost* normal. SHe brought me to tears almost every night, and I often thought about putting her down in her first year with me. It cant be a good life being literally scared of your own shadow. But she started to slowly get better, and I began to think she'd make it, and now she's an awesome little member of our family! And she even took a move to a strange house in Ontario (3 days drive from here) to live with strange people (my sister, BIL, their 7yo) and 2 other dogs, with my Mother and Scout, she never had any issues adjusting... silly girl!
Sorry, I digress.
I'm happy I dont live there either, but my sister, and now my Mom live in Ottawa, and hear about alot of puppy mills not too far from them, it's a very sad, and serious problem, btu hopefully, with petstores everywhere turning away from selling puppies, they'll not be able to make money, and will close down (yeah, I know, likely a pipe dream, they can always sell on the internet, but I like to be positive!)
