The high-profile animal rights activist made the move after Woodland Mall management canceled the lease for the Barking Boutique four days after the locally-owned retailer opened. There were threats of boycotts and protests. The puppies - which averaged $3,100 each - were bought undercover using funds from the Bissell Pet Foundation. A Cockapoo, Daisy Dog and Bison Frise.

Bissell said the puppies were diagnosed with a variety of maladies, including coccidia, upper respiratory infections, Giardia, a parasite illness that causes diarrhea, and in one case of luxating patellas, a joint issue common in small breeds. Most were disclosed by Barking Boutique when the puppies were sold. The puppies had all been checked by a VCA veterinarian before the store opened Tuesday, July 5. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles-based chain of more than 600 veterinarian hospitals later distanced itself from the store. "Most of these problems are minor, common in puppies, and very treatable," she said. "They were given appropriate medication and cleared for adoption." Five years ago, Bissell started the Bissell Pet Foundation, primarily funded through a percentage of sales from the family-owned vacuum and floor cleaner manufacturer her husband Mark runs. The non-profit's mission is to support shelters and rescues that find homes for pets, and stop "profit-motivated, commercial breeding facilities."

Bissell opposed the Barking Boutique because the dogs were supplied by commercial breeding facilities she and other activists label as unethical puppies mills, although they are in compliance with federal laws. Store owner David Boelkes offered assurances puppies were from USDA-approved commercial dog breeders. The six puppies bought by the foundation are being fostered by experienced pet owners until they are considered healthy enough to be put up for adoption through a local rescue organization. Bissell isn't releasing the name for fear staff will be overwhelmed with calls for the puppies that can be adopted for significantly less than their retail price tags. Bissell said her foundation stayed out of the community-organized protests that included a Facebook page and online petition that convinced Woodland Mall do an about-face on the lease after promising to stand behind the store. A Go Fund Me page set up by a friend of Boelkes, who now faces personal bankruptcy after the store's abrupt closure, has $170 in donations.

Boelkes met with an animal advocates after the Muskegon area The Lakes Mall backed out of leasing space to him following a social media uproar. Instead of getting puppies from a breeder, they suggested he sell purebreds and designer breeds that are in shelters. Shandra Martinez covers business and other topics for MLive.

He was to get pick of the litter and said I could have it. I was so excited because I had wanted a Chocolate male. When the litter arrived, to everyone’s surprise there were no chocolates only black and yellows. I told my wife I was going to pass and not take one but she is more partial to yellow and kept insisting that we take one. My friend said it was the bloodline that I wanted and not to worry about the color. I went and looked at them and picked out the largest yellow lab they had and brought him home.

He is the smartest Lab I have ever had and a pleaser also. When it came time to train him for duck hunting, I didn’t have to teach him a thing, he was a natural. He is all business when it comes to hunting or retrieving. He is the best working dog I have ever had and yet lays by me at night to watch movies. He is my best friend and I am so glad he has come into our lives. This is how we got started in our Labs. This is our Weiser. I have brought the best bloodlines possible to Southeast Iowa. We now have three (3) males and six (6) females all from various parts of the states, including Tennessee, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Michigan, Long Island, NY and Kentucky. If you are looking for your first lab or if you need to add another one to your family you need one of our Labradors. is your source for finding an ideal Mastador Puppy for Sale or Mastador Dog for Adoption.
