“Each year in this country, over 4 million dogs are killed.”
…that is a sad statistic. I for one never get a dog from the pet store. I always go to the shelters to make my choice. And I prefer to go for the bigger, older dogs who have less of a chance of getting out of there than the smaller, younger ones. So sad.
