I know of the shop that you speak of. And I have to agree with the other responder that one should never buy live animals from a pet store. Doing so only encourages them to support breeders, some of which run "puppy mills." If you do have proof that this store gets their animals from said puppy mills, they need to be reported to Washington State law enforcement (or a local rescue organization). This is a serious issue that should not go ignored. Speaking about the store itself, I don't shop there. The store is crammed full of stuff and there is no air flow to help clear out the animal odors. I do worry about the condition of the animals. The puppies and kittens there did seem to have clean cages and fresh water, but there just seemed to be so many of them.

I would never support a pet store, you mentioned that they support puppy mills and well so are you. The ONLY reason you are speaking negatively of them right now is because you did not get what you wanted, if you had nothing would be being said right now. However, you went into the store and gave them a deposit, which right there was supporting them. You and others like you support the abuse and mistreatment of animals by helping these places stay afloat, I have a word for you... karma. You as a consumer have the right to file a complaint, but be careful of your words, again you chose to support this business when it was convenient to you and now that you are disgruntled you are hurling negatives at them.
