SPEAK OUT FOR ANIMALS - CONTACT MONSTER PETS' OWNERS and DEVELOPERS - Politely tell them you will not shop at either of their stores until they stop selling animals and start working with reputable* shelters and rescues to host adoption events at the stores. Even if you don't live near Monster Pets, you can still contact them and tell them you disapprove of their sale of live beings from horribly abusive breeding mills.
If you send an email you may hear back from a Monster Pets' representative Susan Hoagland who some people refer to as Monster Pets' "dog lady". Ms. Hoagland may tell you that she personally visits the local breeders to "hand pick" the puppies. Think about it, if she personally travels to the breeding facilities to restock Monster Pets' puppy supply that must mean she is purchasing the puppies from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a.k.a "The Puppy Mill Capital of the East Coast". You may also be told that Monster Pets works with rescues and shelters. We are not aware of any rescues and shelters that do, in fact, work with Monster Pets. Read more about reputable shelters and rescues at the bottom of the page.

*Reputable shelters and rescues will not work with puppy stores. They understand that working with such stores may save a few animals but it will also help to ensure a lifetime of misery for dogs imprisoned in puppy mills that the stores do business with.
