Friends of Animals has added a new feature to its Web
site that will help educate people who are thinking of buying a puppy
from a pet store.
www.friendsofanimals.org/puppies.htm describes the deceptive tactics
pet stores are now using to dupe customers into believing that pet store
puppies no longer come from puppy mills. It discusses puppy mills,
health problems, and pet store "guarantees" and directs people to
consumer protection agencies. There is a complaint form for people who
purchased a puppy in a Maryland pet store to fill out and return to FoA
(this is an extension of our Just Puppies campaign). It also directs
people to adoption
and rescue links.
