Lord, I just saw this part of the site:

Why buying their furry little wrecks are better than adopting out from the local shelter:
Adopting from Teacup And Toy Pets vs Adopting from SPCA and Local Shelter. SPCA and Animal Shelters require that your pet be spayed or neutered immediately (Spay and Neuter Price ranges from $75.00 to $250.00 in addition to your adoption fee.)
It is mandatory that your pet be spayed or neutered and given all of its puppy vaccines including rabies within a certain time period or you may have to pay a fine thru the city that you live in. SPCA and Animal Shelters do not offer any type of health guarantee,their pets are offered AS IS.
I don't know what shelters they are talking about, but our local shelter adoption fee is $90 for: spay/neuter, all basic shots (rabies, DHPP, bordatella), heartworm test, microchipping, coupon for a free vet visit, a free ID tag, even a free training DVD and 20% coupons for 3 local pet stores. This would be worth well over $300. Yeah, they are offered as is, they are shelter pets no thanks to unscrupulous backyard breeders!! Kudos to many outstanding responsible breeders who help out with shelter work and breed rescue.
Teacup And Toy Pets now offers their adoption pets with a 4 day health guarantee and puppy starter package. Most animal adoption centers require that your home be inspected before they will consider your application and will need to interview your family before they will allow you to adopt one of their pets.
A FOUR DAY HEALTH GUARANTEE?! WOW! What a deal. :roll: :roll: Many shelters actually give a 2 week return policy. Oh you mean breed rescues (as I don't know of any animal shelters around here who do home checks) might actually want to make sure you're not doing a impulse type adoption? No way!!
It is also very rare that they will have any small breeds and almost never have Toy Breeds. SPCA and Animal Shelters do not offer pet shipping for pets available at their locations.
Teacup And Toy Pets at your request offers pet shipping to most locations in the U.S.A. When you adopt a new puppy you need to keep your puppy on his / her vaccines as well as have your puppy's health checked.
It is highly recommended that you have a stool sample done to check for worms and other parasites, regardless of whom you adopt or purchase your puppy from.
*checks my shelter's Petfinder site for small dogs* I found 26 dogs beagle size or smaller, including: several min pins, a Lhasa, two Italian greyhound mixes (siblings), a poodle/Bichon mix, several small terrier mixes including a rat terrier and many beagles. Yeah, there are never ever any small dogs in shelters. Then again, it's a Missouri shelter and this is the puppy mill state. And yes, there are numerous "underground railroads" that transport from rescues all over the country.
SPCA and Animal Shelters do not offer a coupon for a free vet office visit. ( Average cost $50.00 to $100.00 ) At your request Teacup And Toy Pets will give you a coupon voucher for a local vet that will cover the cost of your first office visit.
Ummm...our shelter does. *grumble grumble*
