Puppy City should be excluded from this.. nothing lost about it. They sell sickly, pups from Puppy Mills.. please do not give them any free publicity..
I'm a little embarassed to say that I bought a puppy from this place. Yes, I know that this place, and all of the other pet stores, deal with puppy mills. However, after months and months of looking for a small (apartment sized), relatively young dog in a shelter, I gave up. The shelters had 90% pits bulls and other large dogs and a few very old dogs whose medical expenses were more than I could handle. I tried a small breed rescue but they denied me because I had never had dog before and couldn't give vet references and because I had a small apartment without a yard. So I gave up and bought a dog. My dog, thank God, was not sick, but she is definitely NOT the purebred pug they claimed she was (she is adorable and I love her but as she has grown up it is clear from her more prominent snout and longer ears that she is not a purebred). Not that I care, because first of all I love her to death and the only reason I went there was because I needed a smallish dog and she fits the bill. So even though I shamefully did patronize them, they are not the most scrupulous people. We also had put down a deposit for a male dog and got a surprise girl!
