Subject:Shut down Puppyland for unethical business practice
Hello,
Reaching out in hopes to get a response and a course of action before the media picks
this up even more after upcoming protests this winter.
Puppyland, a store that recently opened in Puyallup and Renton, sell puppies that were
purchased from illegal puppy mills. 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.

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,
