West Hollywood has just banned the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores unless the animals are being offered through animal shelters. West Hollywood is also the only area in North America that prohibits de-clawing in cats. Hopefully this is just the start and other areas will pick up the law as well. Here's the info: http://animalconnectionshow.com/wordpress/landmark-legislation-to-ban-sale-of-dogs-and-cats-in-pet-stores/ Jac, Ella (golden retriever, not diabetic), Abbey (golden retriever/Irish setter, not diabetic) beautiful Angel Jenny (golden retriever), and cats Mona and Ernie. Jenny passed away February 15, 2008 at almost 14 years old. Weight: 65 pounds. Diabetes, myasthenia gravis, hypothyroid. Started on Caninsulin (Vetsulin) for 3 months then switched to NPH - 13 units twice daily. .

They do have breeders come in on a weekly/bi weekly basis (one at a time) to show the puppies they have available and they must meet the pet store's requirements in order to show their puppies...(Jim won't let me go to the pet store when they are there ROFL)
