"Channel 7 ran ANOTHER story on the Petland Novi store. They are selling more sick dogs. Check out the story and join the Puppy Mill Awareness Group on November 14, 12:30 - 3:00PM for a peaceful rally. http://www.wxyz.com/n... ... MoreFor more Meetup details: http://www.meetup.com... As many of you already know, almost all of our local pet stores (24) work with out of state breeders. Reputable breeders do sell to pet stores. If you have purchased a puppy from a pet store and have incurred a considerable amount of medical bills, please consider sharing your story so that your experience may help educate others. Do you know someone who has purchased a puppy from a pet store? It does not have to be recent purchase. They should report all their information to PetShopPuppies.org, even if the puppy was healthy. This allows us to see where the dogs are coming from. Purchased a sick puppy from a Pet Store? 1) Contact Animal Control. 2) Contact the Better Business Bureau. Petland Westland is now rated F. 3) The HSUS is also collecting reports of sick dogs. Michelle Foncannon, [masked], or fill out their online complaint form at humanesociety.org/puppymillstory. 4) PetShopPuppies.org can help research breeder information and also collects reports of sick dogs. 5) Do not use the store’s recommended vet. 6) Contact the Puppy Mill Awareness Meetup, Leroy Brown ([masked]) for more information about the breeder and store.
