Puppy Mill Awareness of Southeast Michigan is looking for victims of breeders, pet stores, and dealers. We have introduced a Pet Lemon Law and need your help. Your testimony to our senators and representatives would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Pam through my website.

My organization also offers counseling to victims of the pet trade. I have a checklist to provide to you.

Donna and her daughter arrived at my home and walked around my entire first floor. They were there for 4 hours on that afternoon. In addition to that she came back with her husband and son and they were at my home for another two hours. I have owned Shih-tzus for over 30 years. I have bought several as pets. My first 2 pups lived over 12 years and had excellent health until a few months before we lost them. My second experience with a Shih-tzu was a phenominal girl. She lived until 18 and 1/2 years old. Any vet that saw her over the last few years, including MSU Veterinary Services were so surprised at her good health and agelessness. All remarking on the high level of care she had received all her life. I own 3 dogs that I purchased from private breeders and during the search to find them I encountered many breeders that had horrible nasty conditions for their Moms, Studs and puppies. I always made a quick exit because I knew that was not the way I wanted to choose a pup. If the conditions in my home were so nasty why would someone stay that long and then pay $700 for a puppy that she felt was too young to be adopted out? I do not let my puppies go out to their new homes until they are 2lbs or more, they are able to chew and crunch hard food, and they know to go from one room to the area where their food and water are sitting in. Their food is served fresh at least twice a day, I feed the pups pumpkin which is 100% fiber, the water for them is filtered 24/7 and cleaned out at least twice a day, I make sure their sleeping areas of baby crib sheets and fleece blankets are fresh every morning. And yes they are not confined in my home, because I want to start on their house training either to the outdoors or the puppy pads. My home does not smell, and alot of my adoptive owners comment on how clean my house is and they are surprised that I have a group of puppies and there is no odor. My home and the puppy pads get cleaned and washed twice per day. My babies areas are baby play pens or baby cribs. Some people that come think I either have a daycare or grandbabies. I have been selling, breeding and caring for my puppies for four years and I have wonderful references from vets, puppy owners and anyone else that adopt a puppy from me. I hope Donna will stick to the facts, and also not claim that her complaint does not stem from the money. When you sue someone the bottom line is about the money. Thanks Karen

I purchased a puppy from Karen in April.. I have nothing but positive things to say about Karen she is a wonderful lady. We have had our shih tzu puppy for 7 1/2 months and we have had absolutely no problems. My boyfriend and I love Karen and will be purchasing another puppy from Karen in the future. She loves all of her dogs and does not abuse them.. I know many other people that have purchased dogs from her and also have had no problems. So i think you just had a bad experience and need to understand people are human, you have no right to call her an animal abuser.
