It is advised that when wanting a pet, it is best to adopt at a shelter or adopt one from a reputable breeder. Pet store pets come from puppy mills and buying a pet from a pet store is supporting puppy mills.

But what happens to the pets if the pet store shuts down? Are they put in animal shelters? If they're going to end up in animal shelters anyway, isn't purchasing a pet "saving" it?

That's a good question, I'm not really sure. I would guess that any legitimate business would give the puppies away for free before they took them to an animal shelter.

For me personally I don't buy puppies/dogs if they come from puppy mills in any way because I've seen the conditions and environment in a variety of puppy mills, it's sickening.
