Arlene, Everyday I hear more and more worst things about this hell that is called a "kennel". I bought a puppy from there and let me tell you there is not a day I don't feel sick to my stomach for stepping into that place. Thank god she is healthy now but who knows what the future brings. I so sorry you had to witness that because if it was me I wouldn't be able to control my anger. I am glad the SPCA was there maybe this will be a step to stopping this horrible disgusting place. I know of a lawyer who is an animal rights activists if you want to contact about this.

Our organization, NJ Consumers Against Pet Shop Abuse (NJCAPSA), tracks pet shop consumer fraud and abuse, including animal neglect and abuse. We also help consumers with the complaint process when they purchase sick or dying puppies from pet shops or breeders. NJ has one of the strongest puppy lemon laws in the nation. NJCAPSA has more complaints against American Breeders Network (formerly known as National Breeders Association) than any other pet store in New Jersey. We received an anonymous email about this case and called the NJ SPCA but no one responded. We need more details to pursue action against this store. Please contact us at [email protected] with details about this case. And please visit our website at WWW.NJCAPSA.ORG for more information on this and other pet stores and puppy mills. Other victims of American Breeders Network are urged to contact us with information or their complaints. Thank you, Libby Williams President, NJCAPSA

Arlene - if what you say is true (and I DO believe you!), what did the SPCA do besides take the dog? Can your sister get in touch with Buddy Amato? He's the Chief ACO for Monmouth County SPCA. He also write a weekly column for the Courier local newspaper. Maybe he'll write about this incident? You can find him by contacting the SPCA at 732-542-0040. I'd also contact the Asbury Park Press. With the holidays coming, I'm sure that they'd be interested in this story. Especially since the Star Ledger did a HUGE front page article about puppy mills last week. Don't know if it will do any good, but I'd also contact a lawyer about a wrongful termination suit. Good luck and keep us posted.
