The dogs they do sell are puppies from unwanted litters, not the result of a puppy mill. Pet stores like Petsmart does not sell dogs and cats, but does host for an adoption agency. Every Sunday my local Petsmart brings dogs and cats to the store in an attempt to get them adopted. ~Because my store does not sell dogs or cats, I cannot say what happens when they are not sold. But in the event that an animal does stay in the store for a long time, the price is usually discounted to try to encourage people to buy him/her. If that fails the animal is either adopted out to an interested customer, or an associate. I honestly know of one store in my entire state that sells dogs.
