It was cold yesterday, but we don't mind. I'll bet those dogs in the back room would love to get outside for some fresh air, even in this weather. How about even being able to turn around in the cage? How about to step on some grass? Or to drink some water out of a bowl instead of a hamster tube? So sad. If anyone is looking for a companion animal, go right down the street to the West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove or go to petfinder.com. 25% of dogs at shelters are pure breeds. Please join us every Saturday from 1:00 - 3:00 for a peaceful demonstration to stop puppy mills. If anyone has bought a sick or dying dog from this disgusting place, please visit www.caps-web.org and fill out a pet store complaint form. Thank you!

With the amount of dogs she has back there and in the shop, we should be seeing a steady stream of dogs being walked out back, as she claims she does. Weekends she's open four hours. With 100+ plus dogs out there, in the two hours we're out there, even if she was taking four dogs out at a time, we would see her out there every five minutes approximately. Not ONCE in the two hours we were out there, did we ever see a dog walked. Even in four hours she's open you'd see someone walking those poor dogs every 8 - 10 minutes approximately. All dogs owners know dogs do NOT go right away, especially when we want them too in the middle of the night and it's raining ;) These poor dogs are treated so inhumanely it is pathetic! They never ever see the light of day! I live right around the corner from this shop and have not once seen a dog walked in the back of the store as Tammy claims. Walk behind the stop, you should be able to see dog feces, she'd need one full time employee just to pick up the feces if in fact she was walking these dogs like she says she does. These poor dogs are in crates, peeing and pooping and waiting to be bred over and over again by this woman. When they don't produce any longer, what does she do with them? Is that why they've found dead dogs in her freezer? These poor dogs need to be rescued. Tammy is a monster, period!

Lisle residents: please help prevent these puppy mill distributor pet stores from opening in your town. Contact your Mayor and Trustees and respectfully ask them to pass the ordinance we've supplied to them. They have everything they need to legally do this. Villa Park did it, Lisle can too. You pay taxes in this town, they work for you. Make your voices heard.

Buying anything in a store that sells puppy mill puppies is supporting and advocating cruelty, something most people would not knowingly do. You can choose to, instead, be part of the solution. Anyone who feels sorry for the puppies being sold in the store, please expand your thinking to feeling sorry for the dogs in the back room and mills and end the vicious cycle. Visit one of the numerous nearby shelters and truly save a life. So many Lisle resident's are ashamed Lisle has allowed this business in their town. All Lisle resident's can speak up ask their town to disallow cruel business's as these.

Thanks Erin. It was rude and lacking knowledge also. Certainly unbecoming to the high quality of the Patch.

If you would like to read about the horrific conditions inside Puppy Parlor and their cruel treatment of their dogs and puppies, here's the investigation recently conducted by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. See page 4:
