We Love Pets
815 Manhattan Ave
(310) 372-1212

They are located in Manhattan Beach. They ONLY have 5 - 6 dogs maximum at a given time. They always clean up after the puppies pee/poop. They request that anyone that wants to touch the animals use hand sanitizer. And it ALWAYS smells clean in there. No wet dog or funky animal smells. The staff there is friendly and aren't trying to forceably sell you a puppy. Information on the puppies are posted on little cards. There are no hidden cages in the back or anything. Only 5 - 6 puppies at a time.

My dogs are both not from pet stores (but from breeders), but this is the ONLY location that has impressed me enough for me to consider purchasing anything from them.

(And yes, I have been to a few pet stores in the LA area, and this is the only one I would consider. All others usually are not clean, have cages of animals in the back, etc.)

The question is???? Where did they get the pups from ! Not how nice they are or how clean the facilities are.
