buying puppy-mill dogs directly competes with adoption and supports the creation of more puppy mill dogs. it is more likely that pet rental consumers are drawn at least in part from the ranks of those who would not be able to consider full-time dog ownership - they're putting resources into the system that would otherwise go unutilized.
even if these particular dogs would've found a full-time home instead, they're freeing up those homes for the next round of adoptable dogs.
further, it sounds like these dogs are well trained, of good character, and in good health in large part because of the money FlexPets puts into them.
