Russo's is not closed as the poster stated. Liar!!!
They have beautiful healthy dogs for sale and they sell quickly. The dogs do not appear sad and I've never seen the blood shot eyes described by the poster who left negative comments. People want to own dogs and have a right to buy puppies not just sick and disgarded dogs found at animal shelters. When I was younger there were many pet stores to visit and buy pets from now there are few due to a variety of factors but in some part due to bad press about puppy mills. Puppy mills are in fact bad places but eliminating good, well run, pet stores with kind and caring personnel like Russo's will not change anything.
I bought my cockapoo from a small pet store like in my neighborhood, it was not Russo's but another store. Everyone in my neighborhood who bought puppies from this store was satisfied and has enjoyed their dogs. I wish we had more choices and not less. Responsible breeders are usually located far from large metropolitan areas and are too far to travel for most buyers. Pet stores provide a good way for people to see and select from a wide variety of healthy young animals.
There should be more local pet stores that carry healthy puppies.
