| Pet store being investigated I got curious tonight and did a little more in depth research on the place where we picked our Jax up from in August. A little too late unfortunately and yes, we made the mistake of purchasing from a pet store & being uneducated about where these puppies come from and so forth. Anyways, I was very shocked to see the numerous complaints that have been filed against this place and that it just recently closed its doors temporarily due to an incident with Parvo. Two of your local news stations have done broadcasts on them. Unfortunately, although the law still says that pet stores are to have their animals checked by veterinarians, due to budgets cuts there is no one to regulate these laws. It is such a sad sad thing but I am SOO glad to see that people are stepping forward and doing what they can do to get these things turned around! And hopefully the owner Lily and her boyfriend Jason will think twice about opening those doors again and selling more sick puppies. Here is a few links.
