Don't Buy From A Pet Store: Adopt A Dog
With our shelters and foster groups overflowing with pets, please consider adopting a dog rather than buying at a pet store. Purchasing an animal at a pet store is like paying puppy mill owners to keep abusing and over-breeding dogs. You might be surprised to learn that your local Animal Control Center, Humane Society and other rescue groups often have purebreds who need homes. But don't rule out a mixed breed; they make wonderful pets and can be too cute! In the photo here, snuggling with my cat, is a Poodle/Brussels Griffon mix I found on Petfinder and adopted through AZ Cocker Rescue. This loving and silly little girl makes me laugh every day and has re-energized my large older dog, too.
Think of the cost of adopting as saving the next strays, throw-aways, "foreclosure" pets and puppy mill victims who need care while waiting for a home. We hope the dogs featured below and all listed on Petfinder.com find homes soon.

From Petfinder.com: Gizmo is a handsome Chihuahua/Boston Terrier mix. He was rescued by his foster mum at a hi kill shelter at the front desk where someone was about to dump him. I could see the fear in his eyes, he must have known what his possible fate could have been. His foster mum fell in love the moment she laid eyes on him. When she went to pet him, he immediately gave her such sweet kisses all over her face. She knew then and there she could not allow him to be put in the shelter. So she begged the lady to let her have him and off they went. Whew! how lucky was that. He is sooo sweet, gentle and loving, not to mention smart too! He loves to go under covers at night and keeps his mum nice and warm. Gizmo just adores his new brothers and sisters and loves to play long and hard. He does'nt mind the cats either and tries coaxing them to play. Gizmo is about 9mo of age and weighs about 7lbs (should be under 10lbs fully grown). He has a very flashy look and carries himself well. He minds well and is housebroken. Gizmo is extremely easy going and has no issues, his spirit is very gentle and he will make a perfect family member. What more could you ask for?
