Tiny Cages: Puppies 'N Love

Today, my family and I went to a mall to visit a pet store my father told me he sees when he goes on his runs. The store was called Puppies 'N Love and the first thing you'd notice is that there was dogs in the window of the store.

Yup, dogs in a window. Like they are fancy items to lure you in. And then you go into the store. The cages are tiny for puppies, completely unacceptable. The floors of the cages were uncomfortable and the dogs tried their hardest to stay off of it. They gave the dogs blankets, but they didn't cover the entire floor.

The dogs, to me, looked like they were generally unhealthy and unhappy. There was one that didn't move the entire time we were there. When we were there, I saw at least two other people who looked like they were there to check out the treatment of the animals.

They had stickers up that said that they could guarantee that the dogs didn't come from puppy mills. They also had up signs about the breeders they got the dogs from (which I'm 80% sure is a lie, both of them). The employee sounded like she was saying that often the dogs get returned, then noticed that we looked shocked and started to say instead that customers came back for more dogs. Which leads me to my next point:

PUPPIES ARE NOT IMPULSE PURCHASES! You don't go to a pet store for a toy and say, "eh, might as well get another dog!"

Overall, even if the dogs looked like they were healthy and happy, I would try to put a stop to this store. They blatantly lie, and never before have I seen a store that genuinely made me feel sick. But this one did. It made me sick to my stomach to look at those innocent puppies that were in tiny cages with flooring that would hurt their paws. It made me sick to look at those dogs in the front window, treated as nothing more than future money.
