I strongly suggest you visit a pound if you want a dog instead of a pet store because of the poor conditions and easily contagious diseases in pet stores when all the animals are together.
The best place you could visit if you want a dog or cat is a shelter. For other animals such as bunnies and guinea pigs or bird: the pet store is your only place (unfortunaly)
The petstore that was near where I used to live took good care of their animals. I only objected when the new owner got into puppies and kittens. I told them they were puppy mills…they said they weren’t. Of course they were lying. Otherwise though, they took good care of the reptiles, birds and rodents in there.

The bigger chains such as petsmart and petco are pretty good because they are monitored. You also have to think that fish and reptiles don’t act up or really smell so they can give the allusion that they are a better bet store.
Actually the bigger chains are WORSE. Those companies are all about sell sell sell and the animals come from really horrible conditions.
You are right, most pet shops are bad. There are two good ones I know of in my city. You find reptile and fish stores are better because they are specialised and have more knowledge about the animals. When it comes to buying animals, its best to find a decent breeder or a rescue, there are plenty reputable breeders about and you can find almost any common domestic pet in a rescue, including pedigrees. When it comes to pet supplies I find it best to buy online (its cheaper anyway) or buy from stores that dont actually sell pets, so you are not contributing to their cruelty.
I like Pet Supplies Plus. They do not sell dogs or cats. Only small animals like birds, reptiles, and hamsters. They take very good care of them too.
