   Pet shops buy from puppy mills and large-scale breeders who contribute to the population crisis and whose over-bred animals are often very unhealthy.

3. Never give an animal as a gift. Many an animal has been abandoned because people aren’t prepared to care for it.

   Discuss it with your friends and family first.

4. Take notice and take action. Never ignore stray animals on the street, where they can become victims of disease, starvation, and human cruelty. Contact you local animal shelter to report a lost animal.
