Hello everyone! I hope the week is going well for everyone. We finally got some rain today in Round Rock! The rain stopped at noon but hey, we will take what we can get. I know this might seem a little strange but we get quite a few calls from people asking us if we sell dogs here at Hip Hounds. The first phone call I answered regarding this issue, I told the person, “I’m sorry but we do not sell dogs here.” I did not realize that people still go to pet stores to get their dogs. Check out this link for some facts about pet stores. While pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills, Animal shelters and rescue organizations take animals out of harmful situations and give them a new chance on life. The staff at Hip Hounds supports local shelters by volunteering their time and donating items whenever they can. We at Hip Hounds recommend that if you are looking for a new pet, to please check out local shelters and rescues before going to a pet store.
