Puppyland - please not in my town
Hello Danielle and the entire Commission
I'm concerned about the allowance of a Puppyland store to open in Renton. Their reputation of supporting puppy mill
production of pet animals is something I do not want in my town, state and country.
Please think about the consequences and go visit a Humane Society facility now. Then after a year of a Puppyland
operating around that Humane Society facility and the results are in-humane.
A proper breeder takes good care of the breeding pair and it's puppies, kittens, etc. and finds good homes for their
puppies.
Puppyland has a bad reputation of supporting puppy mills, sometimes from outside our country.
Window shopping for a cute puppy on a spur of the moment as the 5 year old son or daughter throws a fit and says " . . .
oh Mom, oh Dad can I get one, I want that puppy . . . ." . A high percentage is the puppy's new home will not be
adequate and the puppy is no longer wanted a year later. We don't need to support puppy mills and more unwanted,
homeless pets in Renton a good pet home requires preparation, budget and room to prosper. It is not like buying a
teddy bear for a child.
I can talk more if you would like to entertain a phone conversation with me at your convenience.
thank you
