Why is it better to adopt animals from an animal shelter instead of buying them from a pet shop?
My neighbor paid $1000 for a kitten. It was a cute kitten, a 'bengal,' that someone had bred in their garage for profit. He dumped it with me whenever it had continuing and uncontrollable diarrhea.

There are lots of reasons that adopting a pet an animal shelter — or a rescue group — is better than purchasing from a pet shop.
First and foremost, you are SAVING A LIFE, when you adopt. Animals in shelters (unless its a no-kill shelter) only has a few months to be adopted. While most shelters will do everything they can to get an animal adopted, eventually they may be forced to kill the animal because they can’t keep it forever. And even if you adopt from a rescue group (which never allows an animals to be killed), they often get their cats and dogs from shelters, so every time one of their dogs or cats gets adopted it opens up space for them to rescue another animal from a kill shelter.
Shelter/rescue pets are also often healthier than what you get in a pet store, particularly when the store is sourcing from a puppy mill! You’ll often save yourself lots of time, money and headaches with a shelter pet!
And as most other people who have answered this question said, you’re reducing the demand for puppy and kitten mills, which really are horrible places for animals.
These are some of the biggest reasons to adopt a shelter animal, but you can find more in our article 6 Reasons To Adopt, Not Buy —
This is a very tough question, but I'll try my best. Yes it's sad seeing pets in those cages, and no, they are not less deserving of love, care, and homes...But it is true that if you buy pets from pet shops you are ensuring a system of abuse, neglect, and horror continues.
When you buy a pet-shop puppy, you are feeding the unscrupulous what they want. Money. You are ensuring that puppy's mother will suffer the rest producing litter, after litter, after litter in a hard-wire cage she never gets to leave. You are ensuring that puppy's siblings will be born in horrible conditions and with mental and physical health problems.
Also it's likely that those health problems that will drain your wallet at the vet time and time again.
It's actually a common myth that the pets not sold will be euthanized. Typically they all get sold eventually, and often the pet store will lead you to believe if this poor little animal doesn't get sold soon, they will die. Actually, that rarely happens, and they rarely end up in shelters (and shelters generally do everything they can to get the pet healthy and adoptable first unless the pet is clearly not going to make it) unless they are bought and placed there or the authorities raid a puppy mill. Eventually, one way or another, the suppliers and sellers get their money either selling the animal or turning it into a breeder.
Every time you buy a pet on impulse, you are declaring you don't actually care about the needs or animals, just the IDEA of them. YOUR emotions and YOUR discomfort are what drove the purchase, not careful thought and care about the animal or the system it came from. Pet stores and animal millers (because cats, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc. have millers that do the same to them) that engage in these practices are counting on you to impulse buy.
It's sad, it's infuriating, and I understand your ethical and moral quandary, believe me I do! But this is why we have to raise awareness and encourage you to resist and help us END pet store pets. If you truly love animals, DO NOT BUY THEM FROM PET STORES. Adopt them from shelters. There are many fantastic animals in shelters. If you simply must have a purebred, there are many wonderful purebred rescues across the country, as well as plenty of ethical breeders who don’t sell to stores that are dedicated to their animals and you will get a far better pet.
