Should I get a pet from a pet store or the pound?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

But if you want to get a dog with a good pedigree, go to a pet store.

The pets you find in pounds are just as beautiful as the ones you see in pet stores. Pounds have many pure breed animals. Most of the pets who are in pounds are there because they were strays or their former owners couldn’t keep them. If pound pets aren’t placed in homes after a certain length of time, many are euthanized. Millions of animals are killed that way.
Most pounds only have dogs and cats.

Animal shelters and pounds take in homeless animals and try to find them homes. According to the Humane Society, between three and four million cats and dogs are killed in the U.S. each year simply because they cannot find homes.

I'm from Australia so my recommended shelters may not be useful to you. Here in Oz we have the Lost Dogs Home, Lort Smith and RSPCA.
If you haven't already looked I'm sure you will find a great pet at the pound :)
