Royale Kennels is one of the worst puppy mills. They made Pet Store Cruelty's Hall of Shame.

A 2004 USDA inspection revealed that they housed 1,086 dogs. Their business profile claims a staff of only 4 people. Can you imagine the filth?

You can't go back and redo the decision you made six years ago, so don't beat yourself up about it. But please, please, help educate people that pet store puppies come from puppy mills. In spite of all the coverage in the media (even Oprah did a show on puppymills), too many people still don't know the truth.
