I witnessed a very sick sheltie puppy there a year ago

I am very happy to hear the news about Pet Habitat in Burnaby. It is very disturbing to go into that store and see those puppies sitting on metal-grated floors hovering on a cutting board for relief. I witnessed a very sick sheltie puppy there a year ago. The puppy looked glassy-eyed and appeared to have convulsive-like breathing patterns. I told two young boys working there about the puppy and one went over to her cage, picked her up, and said to me that the puppy was okay. I went back to the store a couple of days later, and the sheltie had pus coming out of her nose that she was feverishly trying to slurp up. It was obvious that she had kennel cough or something worse. I immediately left and called the SPCA with my concerns. I never buy anything from that store, but I still take a walk through it to see if any other phone calls need to be made. My only regret is that I didn't call the SPCA the first day I noticed that poor sick sheltie.

Animal cruelty charges against pet store owner
Store owner puzzled by no standards to go by

What, if any, complaints has the SPCA ever made to PIJAC about the way pet stores keep animals for sale?
HELLO? It took them 5 years to respond?
This pet store owner also had a large backyard breeding operation: It's not that we're not pleased that at last the SPCA is doing something *LINK* *PIC*
It is the ruthless, self-serving way the SPCA is 'doing something' that is disturbing, even frightening *LINK* *PIC*
I can tell you that the main cause of homeless animals is the selling of pets through stores
SPCA press release: charges will be laid
Until it becomes illegal to sell live animals in Pet Stores things will not change
