Actually, that might have been true ten or more years ago, but many, many pet stores no longer sell puppies for the very reason I'm
begging you not to buy a puppy from a pet store.
Please. Check out the
Humane Society's page on puppy mills. You can see some of the horror stories on a couple of rescue sites....
Puppy Mill Rescue is one and
NoPuppyMills. That last is a forum dedicated to educating the public about puppy mills.
If you absolutely MUST have a boxer, then please check these sites out BEFORE you decide to get a puppy. These rescue sites are amazing, and are a wonderful resource for breed lovers. I have a rescue Dachsund, and she's an incredible dog.
American Boxer Rescue is one. Another in your area of the country is
Northeastern Boxer Rescue.
