Does anyone knows what happens to Pet store Puppies when the don't get sold?

Back to 'Animal Welfare' forum.

I ahte to think of it, but a pet store near me, usually never has puppies for more than a few days. I've started going in there more to investigate and I was wondering...when Pet store puppies get to big(the store and cages are tiny) what happens? I hate to think of it but...? Can someone please provide me with a straight answer?

I can't be exact but I have done research. These of possible outcomes:

-Sold to research
-Given to Animal Shelter
-Send back to puppy mill.
-Euthanized

Pick your option.....

Idk I don't like any of those options. They are horrible. adopt animals from shelters, boycott petstores and breeders!!

I hate to think that innocent house pets without a home get put down because no one wants them. I have a dog, two cats, and even two fish. One of my cats Comet is honestly one of the sweetest cats I've ever been around. We got him at the ASPCA. The original owner had him and his two brothers. Sadly His two brothers always ganged up on him so he tried for a long time to find a new home for him. He was EXTREMELY shy and scared even when we first brought him home. But now he's super playful, and him and my other cat connor are practically inseparable. Its just scary thinking about what they may have done with Comet if we didn't rescue him.

So what I'm trying to say is, even though its not a baby kitten or a cute little puppy...Giving it a good home is the best thing you can do for any animal.

Hey, don't boycott breeders!! My stepmom has been a breeder for years of pure bred Australian Sheps. and we get their eyes and hips tested, and vaccs. before we even consider selling them. Not all breeders are bad, you just got to look for the right kind.

But I can't stand going in the petstores, it breaks my heart to even think about what may happen to them...

Lots of bad things happen bt maybe not what your thinking about maybe there is a place to take all dogs so they could find a home...

ive seen many places, when they go behind the scenes, that they keep the not-as-popular dogs in the back of the store, and they often die of neglect and cruelty. many of the puppies are adopted, but some do die.
