| Puppies seized in College Station, TX I live in Brenham and work in College Station. Over the years there have been a few pet stores in the mall. They usually don't stay open long. I'm actually not at the mall much but have seen this store has opened there now. Way to go for the citizen that filed the complaint!! College Station police seize 31 puppies from store By ARENA WELCH Eagle Staff Writer College Station police seized 31 puppies Saturday morning from a pet store in Post Oak Mall, saying the dogs were removed following complaints about the conditions in which they were kept. Police refused to provide more specific reasons for the warrant search and seizure at The Puppy Store. Lt. Mark Langwell, a spokesman for the department, said making such details public could jeopardize the investigation. A custody hearing is set for Wednesday before Justice of the Peace George Boyett, Langwell said. A man at the store who said he was the owner would not comment, except to say he did not believe police provided and accurate count of the seized animals. He refused to give his name. The puppies were taken to the Brazos Animal Shelter, where they were evaluated and will be cared for, said Kelley Durham, executive director of the shelter. "They've been fed and bedded down for the night," she said. "Right now, none are in imminent danger." Durham said a "handful" of puppies were examined by a local veterinarian, just to make sure they were OK. Police also seized store business records, including contracts, purchase invoices, sales invoices and breeder records. About a dozen puppies remained on display in the store Saturday night, and the business was open. Several resident complaints prompted the investigation, which began in December, Langwell said. The seized puppies will remain at the Brazos Animal Shelter pending the outcome of the custody hearing, Durham said. "We'll just respond based on whatever the judge tells us to do," she said.
