Why ICARE Strongly Discourages Giving Away or Selling Puppies and Kittens Cheaply

For over 20 years, ICARE has been dedicated to protecting the welfare of animals in our community. We've seen firsthand the tragic outcomes that can result when puppies and kittens are given away for free or sold cheaply. Just this past weekend, a litter of puppies was sold in town. Within hours, one of those puppies was dumped within a mile of the site it was sold at. Fortunately, the puppy wandered up to a good citizen's home and was taken in. This happened on a busy street, and that puppy could have easily been killed. What’s more, we have witnessed people high on drugs selling puppies in that same parking lot not even two months earlier. These stories are far too common, and they underscore the dangers of irresponsible pet rehoming.
