The closing of Pet Station
was long over due. We have been tracking sick dog cases back to 2005. Not only
did they sell puppies, but a wide range of other live animals that were also
suffering in the store. Pet Station was indeed one of the worst pet stores in Michigan . I will be publishing our findings soon.
This map indicates which stores have closed since we started our group in 2008. The blue text indicates which stores have opened since 2008. We currently have active campaigns against The Family Puppy (largest volume), Petland Novi, Westland Dog Food Co and we will be giving a boycott of Utica Pet Supply in June.

Belleville closes after 8 months of protests.

We hope the remaining puppy selling stores choose to stop selling puppy and hold adoption events only.
