    Apparently the BBB has not done their job if there are complaints about mistreatment or unsanitary pet conditions and the business has an A+ rating????!!!! I visited the store and they had 2 dogs in one cage. They were unable to move around in the cage. Being in cramped position all day is horrible. This is not the first time I have seen this either. I have not purchased a dog there as the prices are too high. There are also several bad reviews on ****** stating the same thing I saw. No toys, no water in the cages. I also heard a rumor from a prior employee that they put dogs down if they can't sell them before they are out of the cute puppy stage. I really hope it is not true. Someone needs to do something about this place!

    All of our enclosures are up to the standard of the **** as well as the *****, who we are licensed and regulated through. Dogs are social animals, and puppies much prefer being housed in groups over being by themselves. All enclosures are equipped with toys appropriate for the puppies age and chewing level, and all enclosures have 1-2 water bottles available to the puppies 24/7. Each puppy gets at least 30 minutes of daily enrichment outside of our Puppy Playtime program where patrons can spend time and play with the puppies. Are puppies are priced according to their quality, we have registered purebred and hybrid pups, they are all microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated prior to going home. We will have every single puppy until they are adopted, we do not send them away or put them down, so the rumor you have heard is simply that, a rumor. We hope now that you are better informed you will come and visit us again!
