| THIS IS TRULY A MESSAGE FROM OUR HEARTS: WHEN WE DECIDED THAT THERE WAS A NEED FOR A QUALITY PUPPY STORE NEAR OUR HOME, WE HAD NO ILLUSIONS THAT IT WOULD BE EASY. WE FEARED THERE WOULD BE A SOME WHO WOULD CALL US GREEDY AND HEARTLESS BECAUSE WE WOULD BE SELLING PUPPIES WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY ANIMALS IN SHELTERS AND POUNDS UP FOR ADOPTION. WE KNEW THAT THERE WERE MANY DESPICABLE PUPPY BREEDERS WHO DESERVE TO BE SHUT DOWN. BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE WOULD BE CONFRONTED BY A SMALL GROUP OF NEIGHBORS WHO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS IN WESTPORT BECAUSE IT IS THEIR TOWN. WE KNEW THAT WE WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING GOOD BREEDERS. BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE PEOPLE WHO WOULD DO WHATEVER THEY COULD TO DISCREDIT US AND OUR BREEDERS WITH FALSE, MALICIOUS, OUTDATED AND MANUFACTURED INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS. WE BELIEVED THAT BY USING THE NAME "PUPPIES OF WESTPORT" OUR CUSTOMERS WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE WERE CRAZY ENOUGH TO OPEN IN SUCH A DOG- CRAZY TOWN WE WOULD BE OFFERING A HIGHER QUALITY PUPPY BUYING EXPERIENCE. WE KNEW THAT BY FILLING AN UNMET NEED, WE'D SELL MANY PUPPIES AND MAKE MANY FAMILIES VERY HAPPY. WE DIDN’T KNOW THAT IN JUST OVER 3 YEARS, WE WOULD SELL OVER 2800 PUPPIES AND THAT ALL BUT 3 PERCENT WOULD BE TO VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS- A TRACK RECORD THAT WE ARE VERY PROUD OF.. WE KNEW THAT DOING IT RIGHT MEANT THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE MORE ONEROUS AND EXPENSIVE TO CARE FOR OUR PUPPIES BUT WE DIDN’T KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE A SMALL GROUP THAT WOULD HAVE NO INTEREST IN HOW WE DO THINGS BECAUSE ALL THEY WANT IS TO SHUT US DOWN. BY OFFERING OUR CLIENTS A VARIETY OF PUPPIES SOME GO UNSOLD AND WE LOWER THEIR PRICE TO WHATEVER NUMBER IS NECESSARY TO HAVE THEM ADOPTED BY A LOVING FAMILY THAT COULDN’T OTHERWISE AFFORD TO BUY FROM US. WE KNEW OF MANY TERRIFIC HUMANE SOCIETIES THAT DO WONDERFUL WORK TO SAVE ANIMALS, BUT WE WERE UNAWARE OF GROUPS LIKE THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES THAT COLLECT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM UNINFORMED CONTRIBUTORS WHO BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY LIE ABOUT ALL THE ANIMALS THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF WHEN, IN REALITY, THEY RUN NO SHELTERS, AND ESPOUSE EXTREMIST VIEWS THAT VALUE THE LIFE OF AN ANT AS MUCH AS THE LIFE OF A CHILD. WE SUPPORT EVERYONE’S RIGHT TO GET THE DOG THEY WANT FROM WHEREVER THEY CHOOSE. WE'RE COMMITTED TO SHUTTING DOWN PUPPY MILLS. WE FAVOR LEGISLATIVE CHANGES THAT WOULD PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH GREATER PROTECTION FROM THOSE WHO WOULD UNSCRUPULOUSLY BREED AND SELL. WE BELIEVED THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND OTHER PET STORES. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A PUPPY BUYING EXPERIENCE THAT IS SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER AND THAT WE BE VIEWED, WITH QUALITY SHELTERS AND RESCUE GROUPS, AS A VIABLE PLACE TO FIND THEIR NEXT PUPPY. . |
