Yeah, I know. I think that most people know better they just can't refuse the cute puppy in the window ... the one with the waggily tail. Or they just try to convince themselves that the dog did not come from a puppy mill. I don't think you should give up educating because, while not everyone will listen, there will be people that will.
We've just got to keep doing what we're doing. It's hard when you don't seem to see any progress but you just keep doing it. Mom's little nephew asked about us a couple of weeks ago. She told him we were all rescues and he was very happy to hear it. He went on about how you shouldn't buy puppies from pet stores because they're sick and their families live in yucky conditions. Mom was happy that she's apparently making a difference with him and he's aware of such things. Keep the faith!
Hound girl,
Yes, very frustrating.
Here is a place to visit, maybe pass along as well:
