Puppies and Kittens Should NOT Be Sold in Stores in Tyler, TX

For most adults before owning a pet they realize this is going to be a forever family member. This isn't just for a few months as the puppy is growing but as soon as they tear up a pillow it's time to say goodbye. It's really unfortunate to see so many dogs and cats that are dumped here in East Texas. In Dallas, there is a ban being considered that would make it illegal to see puppies and kittens in stores and I think this is something that should be implemented across the whole state of Texas.

There are lots of free pet pages all over social media and that should be another reason why you never even think about purchasing a new pet, you should always adopt one that is already in a tough situation. I'm not trying to shame stores that sell adorable puppies and kittens but I think we can all agree these animals deserve more room to play than they get in those small containers.

Could you imagine living in a place that you believe to be your home and next thing you know you are in a brand new place and the person who has always taken care of you is nowhere to be found? The pets that are up for adoption have already dealt with so much, they deserve to find a loving forever family to enjoy for the rest of their life.
