Aussie at Petland
by Karen
(Cleveland, OH)
Hello. I am aware of an Aussie male puppy that has been "on display" at Petland for months... no one has bought him yet. He is now 5 months old and getting big! I saw him there two months ago and my heart goes out to him. I was heartbroken to see him still there this weekend listed as 50% off!
I have an Australian Shepherd myself and unfortunately I do not have the space for a second one. Do any rescues get dogs right from Petland and adopt them out? This is a rescue situation. Farm dogs do not belong behind glass confined at a Pet store... it infuriates me. I would be willing to donate to a rescue that could get him and adopt him out. Does anyone have any advice or information about a situation like this?
This puppy is not getting proper exercise, and will certainly end up at a shelter if not socialized properly. I can't get this little guy out of my mind. I wish I had more room for another one, but unfortunately I would at least donate $ to the group who is nice enough to take action. I realize all pups can't be saved, but lets face it... this dog is probably from a puppy mill to begin with. It disgusts me!
