The pet industry often says that bad high volume kennels are rare. If that were true, then most of the dogs who come to HUA from commercial kennels would be in good condition. And the truth is that never happens. The dogs are never in good condition. They are always emotionally and physically damaged. To learn the truth, all you have to do is read about Carmel and Bunnie. The dogs tell the truth. Please help dogs like Carmel and Bunnie by telling everyone you know never to buy a dog in a petstore.

  This is what the parents of puppies in petstores look like.

  Carmel is certain that she is a princess. She thinks she is beautiful. She loves everyone and is so thrilled with every kindness. Behind her happiness though is a look of wisdom in her eyes. She has known horrors beyond what any of us will suffer. This little girl who only wants to love and be loved, was trapped in a cage and bred over and over for years. Starvation led to hair loss, she also has corneal scars, mammary tumors, rotten teeth and a urinary tract infection.

Please remember Carmel's story and her suffering and tell everyone you know about her. The only way you can be certain not to contribute to the industry of misery is by never buying a dog in a petstore.

Carmel is on the road to recovery and would love a home of her very own. To read more about her and see more photos, please click here.

 If you buy a puppy in a petstore, you risk buying a dog that has severe problems that will cost thousands of dollars to repair.

What would you do if you had purchased Bunnie? And what would you tell your children about love and responsibility?

 

 Bunnie's hips were so terrible that she could only hop like a clumsy bunny. She longed to run and play with the other dogs, but she could only watch. She was sold by a commercial kennel to a broker, then transported to a petstore where she was sold to a person who worked in the store. Within a couple of weeks they learned that she had severe dysplasia and would require thousands of dollars of surgery. So Bunnie was returned to the petstore so they could get their money back. Back in a cage, Bunnie cried for her people to get her out. She didn't know that unless there was a miracle on Tuesday the broker's representative would come and she would be killed.
