Yes, very well said Brad. Backyards have nothing to do with the term.
I would extend my own personal definition of puppy mills to include breeders who produce inventory to stock pet stores.
And I honestly can't come to terms with a pet store profiting from rescue animals. Is the option there to adopt directly from the rescue org?
The head office of the store said the dog would be moved to better housing if required.
So we all hope things go well for her.
Happy tails to you all. Or no tails, whatever...
