Hold pet shops to standards of oversight
 

Pet shops and breeders should be held to the same standards as shelters. It is turning a blind eye to medical neglect or abuse to what is happening in Virginia pet shops and breeders. We purchased our dog from a small business breeder and there were many signs of years of medical neglect to the former stud dog.
