DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE. This store, like other puppy stores, is a puppy mill. They get their puppies DIRECTLY from puppy mills. The store that used to be in it, Puppy Love, was closed down in 2022 for being a puppy mill. This store is NO DIFFERENT.

Puppy mills mass produce dogs, cats, and other pet store animals. 2 MILLIONS DOGS EACH YEAR.

Puppy mills keep these animals locked in tiny cages (and usually multiple dogs piled up on top of each other) defecating and urinating everywhere. They do not have health testing and usually die because of their poor living conditions. And if they DO survive, these dogs are RIDDLED with unseen health conditions, and usually die only a few years later.

These stores also overprice their dogs- you should not be paying over $6-8,000 for a poorly bred mutt.

By supporting these stores, you're directly contributing to the suffering these dogs go through. Instead of supporting these disgusting greedy businesses, support local animal shelters, or choose an actual ethical breeder that cares about preserving a breed, and ACTUALLY health tests (I'm not talking about vaccinations or vet check ups, I'm talking OFA certified good/excellent/normal hips, elbows, cardiac, patella, eyes, hearing, etc...), titles in breed worthy events/sports, pedigrees with a lineage breed worthy, health tested, and titled dogs, etc...

The best thing you can do is to report and sign petitions to get these stores closed, and to NEVER buy anything from these stores. They feed off of the uneducated, and the money keeps the demand going. They do not do this for the better of the animals. They do this...

Not helpful on knowing information and kinda rude, I have a really difficult time bc I can no longer keep my dog. I bought him for over 3449.98dollars, I can’t not get him Potty trained over 4 months of having him. And researching I over paid for this dog I needed him rehomed and my only option is to give him away? I don’t get to trade the loan off or actually give a decent time to know if a dog is a good fit, my only option is to too pay other people too train/get him fixed or rehomed(with me still paying the loan?) korianna w. In Roanoke Va was the girl I went through and had to wait all day for her to come into work with no help given. All she could do is post him for free. When I spoke to someone earlier in the morning she spoke of that after a certain time I can get money back and I don’t care about that I don’t want to continue to over pay for a dog I can not train and just keep throwing money at it. I have tried everything and I just don’t feel they are giving me or the dog the best opportunity for 4,000 me and this dog should have a more kind approach on the right...

First off, it smells like straight parvovirus when you walk in the door. Not to mention we played with a couple of dogs and one of them was covered in poop and smelled awful. The other pooped in the pin with us and it looked like straight blood. The workers acted like it was perfectly normal and just picked the dog up and put it straight back in the cage. We were going to get the poor thing so we could get it some help so we asked for the price and needless to say their prices are absolutely absurd. Who in their right mind would pay what they ask for these dogs. A 9 week old pup that is not even a F1 breed is 5,000 dollars. You can get the same breed of dogs, microchipped, registered, and up to date on their shots for half the price from a breeder smh. They just take advantage of people who can’t afford to pay out of pocket and con them into financing the dog. All I can say is I would be embarrassed and ashamed to own a store like this and once I find out who to report all this to I will definitely be...
