New puppy store in Berkley closed for not having business license

Protesters were outside Puppygram in Berkely Tuesday, an establishment that just opened its door last week. They say they were concerned about the way the business was sourcing their puppies. "It wasn't until last week that we started receiving information about some of their past practices," Berkley City Manager Matt Baumgarten said. "People need to be aware. People need to make choices," concerned citizen Courtney Wooten said. "This particular company has a long history of being tied to animals that are not well cared for. Animals that are coming from large puppy mills." There's no evidence of that happening at this location, but Puppygram's CEO Miles Handy managed another location in Kokomo, Indiana. That establishment was called Pet's Choice and four certified vet inspections obtained by 7 Action News show that the Kokomo location was sourcing its puppies from large brokering facilities that ship puppies all over the country to stores.
