Do you do this too...?

Read the Pets For Sale adverts in the local paper or pet-shop windows and also online - even if you aren't actually thinking of buying one? Or is it just me lol?

Sid does it too!!

i always do...it drives me crazy though! i get so wound up ! but cant resist looking

I used to read them but I don't anymore as I would probably just get angry and upset about some of the mixed breeds advertised under designer names.

I feel it is better to stay away as I feel these ads play on the general public and make them feel sorry for the poor pups and they end up buying out of sympathy and this only encourages byb's and breeders who breed with no health tests to go on and breed more and more litters,

So now I stay away so I don't get angry and upset.

There are enough dogs in rescue without buying from the unscrupulous people who mostly place these adds .

I only read the ones in local shops for missing ones incase I spot them.

I'm afraid I do ..... even the cats which is the last pet I would have anyway (no offence)
I read the lost ones too Stormey, I'm sure one day I will find a poor lost little pooch and I will be able to save him from a terrible fate

me too ,why do we do it to are self (hands full springs to mind )

Yep, I'm always looking at horses although I know I'm not ready for another one just yet - need to save up a bit for the initial outlay, vetting and equipment!

I guess, technically, that's how we ended up with Roux - although we weren't actively looking for another dog, I couldn't help looking through the rescue's "homeless" listings and fell in love with him!

I always look at the rescue websites and get sad because i can't adopt all of them.

Noooooooooo I wouldn't DARE look at puppies But thanks coz you've just reminded me to look on my local rescue website and see what they've had in of late!!!

Yep, I'm afraid I do It drives my husband crazy
