I've always wondered what happens to all those puppies and kittens at pet stores that don't get bought. Do they ship them to the pound? Do they euthanize them?

The ones I know of drop the price until they sell. I estimate it's possible they'd send them to puppy manufactory auctions if they have any in their area. I doubt they'd euth them. They've got $$ into them and want to get information technology back somehow - or at to the lowest degree some of it.

In theory if they don't become bought the store will request less and less puppies from the puppy mill and eventually the puppy mill volition not be able to go on convenance and shut down. And everyone who does rescue and fosters/saves dogs from shelters will breathe a sigh of relief...

They lower cost until it sells. if they don't sell and get a bit to old, they send it to the BRG'due south who sell (adopt) them to unsuspecting people. BRG's are set up to look like legitimate creature resuce groups just are simply an alternating way to sell dogs. Look at BRGs as an overstock sales outlet for pet stores, mills and breeders except they pretend to be resuce groups. The adoption fees are often on the high end, old the same as what a pet store will sell it for. Yous can tell its a BRG sometimes because they are loaded with purebreed or designer dogs, many being on the young side and seldom any over a couple of yr. Any older domestic dog they have for adoption ordinarily looks like its been a babe factory for years.

lower the price untill they deceit afford to anymore (the cost they bought it for plus vet care, typically around the $300 mark is the lowest they can get...
at that betoken if it withal hasnt sold they get returned to the facility they were bought from who and then transport them back to the "breeder" to be euthanized, sold to other "breeders" at auction, or become new breeding dogs for the mill...

That all sounds actually horrible . Poor puppies. Information technology's painful to see them treated every bit a product, with no feelings or emotions. I personally can't stand even passing past a pet store, seeing all those animals crammed into pocket-sized spaces wanting to get out and be played with breaks my heart into a meg pieces.

Information technology a double sadnes because these BRGs are often selling to animal lovers who would never support pet stores, puppy mills or BYBs. But those businesses found that slapping the proper noun "Rescue" on their puppy/kitty selling business concern fools even die hard fauna welfare lovers to support their businesses. I would non exist shocked if half their breeding business concern is devoted to selling to BRGs often who are also owned past the mills themself. In that location is no regulations as to what is a legitimate Rescue grouping and then through clever marketing, they plant a sales outlet to beast lovers.

People LOVE to brand fun of San Francisco, for being a bunch of "right-wing liberal wackos" - but nosotros got one thing right, in banning the auction of dogs & cats in pet stores. I only know of one pet shop inside an hour of here that sells dogs/cats, and they're not in San Francisco county... so glad I don't have to run across that anywhere else, as information technology actually breaks my heart.

Please excuse my ignorance, I thought I knew everything on the subject, but what does"BRG" represent?

Poor puppies indeed. But if no one bought from pet stores, in that location would be no need for puppy mills. Don't buy from a pet store considering you experience bad for the puppies; when you lot buy from a pet shop you are supporting a puppy manufacturing plant - you are funding the suffering of thousands of other puppies/dogs. Not to lecture you, but I can't tell past your posts if you know these things already or experience bad for pet store puppies and might buy one to "save" it. If y'all really want to "save" a puppy go to a shelter. The puppies in shelters have niggling time before they are killed and they truly need to be saved.
