Oh yeah, I'm aware that some of them can have Behavior problems, and yes, the plan is to keep looking for the right Pet for me, but from what I've read, a lot of those animals from the Pet stores tend to either have just as much problems, or maybe more. I'm also not really too picky on the age of the Dog (although raising it from a puppy is preferable), all I'm really looking for is just that it's a good dog, and it's disease free. But the main difference here is that while i hear that Pets from the Pet store end up costing as much as $600 (or more) overall during the day of purchase (with having it spayed or neutered, and with shots and given a tracker all in one day), Animal shelters tend to vary drastically in price, with some ranging from $60 to $600, depending on certain factors for example; how much funding the Animal Shelter gets from the county or state, or if it's public or privately owned, often with the same ending result. I'm also bringing a friend who knows a lot about adopting, and has experience with shelters, as well as Animals in general (since he was an assistant to a vet), just in case.
So anyway, should i still consider going to a shelter, or am i still better off heading to the store, and supporting these puppy mills that are causing this pet overpopulation problem? I mean, i don't mean to antagonize breeders, but from what i do hear, they tend to do more harm than good, but that's another argument for another time.
