They've been shut down in California and have moved up to Washington in hopes to make a quick buck off of selling illegal and sick dogs to the people of Washington. The staff will kick you out if you ask too many questions about where the puppies come from. They immediately delete all negative reviews on their Facebook page. The puppies are showcased in tiny glass enclosures resembling fish tanks. Dogs are kept in these confined cages that are only 6 inches larger than their body, and the cages are not cleaned daily. Leading them to become infected with parasites and illness before they’re sold.  CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Renton. Do not click links, reply or open attachments unless you know the content is safe. 2 3 They even offer financing as if you were buying a new car, which shows they are willing to sell a puppy to a family that can not afford to own a puppy. There is no proper sign outside only a cheap plastic one strung up above the door. This is a business operating on gross negligence and it needs to be stopped. Please address this and shut down the selling of dogs in pet stores and the transport of dogs from puppy mills to Washington state- show that you care about the residents and pets of Washington. Furthermore, making it an ethical economy by removing businesses like this from practice.   It’s never too late to do the right thing!    Thank you,        Haley Morris, Washington Resident      (425) 681‐2833
