SEE ALL PUPPIES FOR SALE

Do you love your pet? We do, too!

Did you know on JULY 9TH it may soon be ILLEGAL for you to buy a pet?

No more puppies for sale! The only option you will have is to adopt an older mix breed mutt at the shelter! How does that make you feel?!

The San Diego City Council is considering a ban on the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in pet stores on July 9th. This ban hurts pet owners by reducing the availability of pets and eliminating responsible pet stores as a source for pets. It hurts animals by driving pet sales underground. This ban does not address the welfare of animals, it simply reduces the supply of pets and puts legitimate, local stores out of business.

The facts:

Less than 4% of puppies purchased from pet stores wind up in a shelter or rescue organization and 70% of that 4% could have been prevented with proper education.

Pet stores and their sources for puppies are regulated at the state and federal level.

Pet stores in California provide consumer protection by offering warranties on the dogs and cats they sell.

Those truly concerned about the welfare of animals should focus on effective enforcement of animal care standards, not putting legitimate businesses that provide pets to the public out of business.
