“Kim missed the chance to be a spokesperson for shelter pups and instead is being rightly slammed on social media for that.”Kim Kardashian purchased four Pomeranian puppies as Christmas presents for each of her children. Photo / InstagramThe criticism intensified after sister Khloe Kardashian, 41, announced on Christmas day that she had also bought her family a dog, sharing photos of a black Labrador retriever and tagging Indiana-based Labrador retriever breeder Big Creek Labradors. Dog rescuer Nicole, who runs the Instagram account @nicoleandthedogss, said celebrities should be encouraging adoption instead of promoting breeders, Newsweek said. Newkirk also criticised the breeder tag and urged both sisters to consider adopting a shelter dog in future. The Kardashian family has owned a wide range of pets over the years, including dogs, cats, reptiles and horses, People reported.
