Puppyland, which has a location in Marietta, is being sued by the Washington State Attorney General for misleading customers and locking them into predatory finance loans.

BREAKING NEWS:

The Washington State Attorney General has just announced a lawsuit against the Puppyland chain of puppy stores.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced today he filed a lawsuit against Puppyland and its owners for failing to honor advertised health guarantees and channeling customers into predatory loans with illegal terms restricting truthful reviews.

The lawsuit asserts Puppyland misrepresented both the breeding standards of puppies it sold and the health guarantees they offered, while unfairly maneuvering buyers into signing predatory loans with interest rates approaching 200% without adequate time to understand the terms.

As you know, Bailing Out Benji has been crucial in helping customers file complaints when they've purchased sick puppies from pet stores- including Puppyland.

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you are thinking of buying a last minute puppy in a pet store for Christmas please reconsider.

Not only did that puppy likely come from a puppy mill, but it could very well be sick and cost thousands in veterinary bills. Your kids want a healthy puppy, not one that might pass away in a few weeks.

Reputable breeders don’t sell their puppies in pet stores.

Puppy-buying season is here 💔

Don’t put cruelty on your shopping list! The public is funding the puppy mill industry every time they buy a puppy without meeting the parents. In order to avoid this cruel industry, make sure you research BEFORE you add a new pet to your home, and don’t forget to look at your local shelter or rescue for your next best friend.

The USDA says that within breeding facilities, the cages dogs live in only need to be six inches wider and taller than their body. So long as the dog can stand up, turn around and lay down it is considered adequate space.

What do you think? Is that enough space for a dog to live happily it’s entire life?

It is according to the puppy mill industry that you are supporting when you buy a dog from a pet store or from a newspaper or website without meeting their parents!

Do your research, visit the facility and always reach out to us with any questions! Or better yet- Opt to Adopt

They are the same dogs.
They have the same feelings.
They have the same pain tolerance.

Yet, in the eyes of the law, they are treated very differently.

200% interest per puppy.

No. We aren’t exaggerating. Puppy selling stores use lending companies like EasyPay , WAGS lending and Lending USA which charge upwards of 200% interest per lease or loan in order to buy an already overpriced puppy.

It gets worse. In states where there are no legal protections, your puppy can actually be repossessed upon missed payment. And you are still on the hook for the loan or lease even if your puppy gets sick or dies.

Pet stores don’t admit to using puppy mills- it’s bad for business!

So we took the time to research over 350 pet stores in the US (so far) and connect them to the puppy mills they use and make it public.

What does feeding time look like at your house? Twice a day? Healthy, measured food in a clean bowl?

This is feeding time in a puppy mill. A week's worth of food is put in this red box and is expected to last. Puppy mill owners will do anything to limit how much time they have to actually spend with the dogs in their “care”.

This is what the public supports when they buy a puppy from a pet store or a click-and-ship website.
