I love my best friend dearly and I feel like a bad person for being judgmental but I am a bit upset that they chose to buy a dog from a breeder (and at a hefty price) instead of adopting a puppy from a shelter (our city has many). I feel like a jerk for judging but I kind of side eye folks who get animals from breeders (except for folks with severe allergies or folks who need a service animal). There are so many adoptable puppies in our city and idk I’m a bit upset that my friend is supporting dog breeding instead of the amazing shelters in our area. I haven’t said anything to my friend bc on the one hand, a new pet is always exciting but it’s just kind of sad to me at the same time because of how many animals in shelters need homes. I also love and value our friendship and I know it’s not my place but personally, I’m super passionate about animal rescue and helping shelter babies so I do have some feelings about this situation. I kind of just needed to get this off my chest tbh
