| Need help! Pet World needs to be reported. I saw the most disturbing thing. I have been seaching for a new food for Dior and Diesel because of their allergies. After much research I decided on Natural Balance and only 2 stores in my area sells the brand, Petco and Pet World. I decided to go to Pet World since it was closer. From the minute I stepped in there I got a weary feeling. It was Dark and Smelly. I immediately said to myself and my friend " I hope they do not sell puppies in here". As soon as I turned the corner to the food section, guess what I saw. You guessed it! Puppies for freaking Sale! If that wasn't bad enough all of these dogs were on sale because they had been there since April. They had this "Yorkie" that looked mixed with 20 different breeds. I asked the lady working there if these are purebreds. She said yes and asked me if i wanted to play with them. I blurted out "Hell No". These dogs were severly matted, Dirty and eating their feces. They had a freaking grooming facility 5 steps away from the Kennel. They were all barking and crying and I felt so helpless. How do I go about getting this business reported? Better yet SHUT DOWN.

| Report it to your nearest humane society. Also, check with your city/town's animal control officer and local laws regarding animal neglect. You may also want to report them to the Better Business Bureau. Good luck and keep us posted. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | There's some good information at http://www.millbusters.com/forums/index.php These stores NEED TO BE REPORTED - if no one speaks - then no one will hear it. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | We have one in our area that I keep meaning to stop at. Guess I won't be now. I don't like going into pet stores that sell puppies. Makes me so sad.

| They must be pretty much the same. Several years ago I had called animal control on the one in Fredericksburg. I think they were fined and I never did business with them again. I wanted to take all of those pups home.

YT 500 Club Member | Go to the website hua.org where you may get more information. This is a group in Auburn, Nebraska, of all places, but they work to eliminate puppy mills. You can email them or call them and get more ideas. They are great. They have taken so many animals from all over, and they will help you figure out what else to do if you need help. Good luck!

| That makes me sick to my stomache hearing things like this and it really makes me mad too. Those poor dogs have been in cages since April? They cant even take them out and grrom them for cripes sake? I would not spend another dollar in there and do some follow up too to make sure this isnt swept under the rug as usual. Good job for reporting them. |
