PLEASE PLEASE STAY AWAY.
On 4/28/2011 I called Puppy City and spoke to the manager named Kenny. I told him that 3 days prior on 4/25/2011 I had to put to sleep my
14yr old black & white Shih-Tzu dog due to a severe heart diease, and that for the past two weeks my Shih-Tzu refused to eat, no matter what I did. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. Putting a beloved pet to sleep after after 14yrs of being part of your family leaves you with a profound pain and emptiness in your soul that cannot be described in words. After stating this fact to Kenny, I asked him if he had any female black & white Shih-Tzu's at Puppy City. Kenny went on to tell me that, yes indeed he had a beautiful black female Shih-Tzu that from a scale of 1-10, she was a 20. He also said that he would normally sell her for $800.00 to $1000.00 because she was in perfect health condition, and because she was so beautiful. He said that he would take this puppy home himself, but because he had several dogs himself at home, if he bought another puppy home, that his wife would kill him. He then said that because of what I had been through with putting my 14yr old dog to sleep 3 days prior, he would let me buy the dog for $600.00, and that he was doing me a favor because this puppy was so breathtaking and in such excellant condition. I thanked Kenny and told him that I would be in the following day on 4/29/2011 to look at the puppy, and if everything was as he had promised me with the condition of the dog, that I would buy her. Kenny told me that although he would not be there on that day, that he would have one of his employees take very good care of me, and that the puppy would be waiting for me.
Needless to say, I went to Puppy City the following day and was met by one of the employees named Manny. Manny told me that he was expecting me and told me to wait while he brought the puppy out. As I watched Manny walk away,I noticed that he did not go where all the puppies are kept in the cages in front of the store, but somewhere remote in the back office. Once he brought out the dog to me, I asked him why this puppy was segregated from the other puppy's and not in the front of the store where all the other puppy's are, Manny told me that the reason for this was because this Shih-Tzu puppy had an upper respitory infection / kennal cough and had to be kept separated as to not infect the other dogs. Also he told me that the puppy has been on medication for the last four days and needed to be on medication for the next six days. He was very concerned that once I touched this puppy, if I wanted to pick up another puppy, the one's that were in front of the store, that I would have to disinfect my hands with a liquid disinfectant, which he carried with him, for the purpose of not passing on the virus from this puppy, to one of the other puppy's in the store.
Once Manny handed me this Shih-Tzu puppy I immediately heard the weezing and conjestion coming from this poor puppy. I also noticed that both the white's of her eyes were both blood shot. Lastly this unfortunate puppy once I held her in my hands all you could feel under her coat were her bones, no meat on her whatsoever.
Needless to say, I did not purchase the puppy and called Kenny on 5/2/2011 and expressed to him the condition of this puppy. What this vile, SOB, who could care less about the puppy's he has in his facility and who has no human compassion or emotion, who just regards these poor puppys as objects to obtain money from, told me was that there was nothing wrong with the puppy. When I asked him why the puppy was separted from the others, he told me that it was because she was kept in the back to be with the other puppies from that particular Shih-Tzu litter. Also Kenny told me that in no instance that this puppy was on any medication. People like Kenny who run them could care less about these creatures of god.
