I'm currently a veterinary technician. I used to work here when I was 15. I can tell you now, I wouldn't recommend this store to anyone. The puppies are from puppy mills. I was behind the scene, so anyone who argues with me, you don't know what you're talking about. When we got shipments of puppies (from a truck, from the Midwest, not from reputable breeders) they were sick. Allison and her sister self-medicated the animals and never took them to a vet. They told me to lie to people to make 'the sickness they had sound cute". AKA 'this puppy has the sniffles, but can go home soon if you want to pay for him now!' The back was littered with sickly breeding mice and hamsters. One mouse had a large tumor on it and I brought it to their attention. They had me put it in a seperate tank to die, not to be humanely euthanized or anything. There were so several hundred customers cockroaches. They were squished in the dog cages, in the parrot cage, and all in the back of the facility. It still boggles my mind how they pass any kind of health inspection. Now being the the veterinary field for over 4 years, I wish I took pictures and filed against them. Oh, ndcever wonder about the "designer breeds?" One day, a lady brought in collie/husky puppies. Said her dog accidentally mated and she didn't know what to do with them. We took them and sold them for 900$ each and told not to tell anyone that they were random puppies. Youvgetcwhat you pay for people. Find a reputable breeder or adopt from a shelter. Not this mess of a store.
