Hi, I'm new here. I was searching for the Herald article after reading up on Snookums Pets today.
My friend bought a Miniature Schnauzer from Snookums a few months ago. She drove all the way out to P.E.I. to pick up this puppy. She said that it was violently shaking, and couldn't stand on it's legs. When she asked to see where the puppies were housed, they said that the building was being cleaned and nobody was allowed in. By the way, the dog is doing great now.
This has been on my conscience since she told me about it. I e-mailed Snookums under the premise that I was interested in buying a puppy, but wanted to see where they were kept so that I could be sure that I wasn't supporting a puppy mill. This is the response that I got...
"It is possible for you to come here to pick up you
puppy here we are open from 10-6 everyday including Sundays. Our address is
521, St. Peters Road, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. If you have
anymore question feel free to call our toll free number at 1-866-255-7385."
Except, I didn't ask if I could just pick the puppy up. I wanted to know if I could see where they are kept. My friend went to pick the puppy up, but wasn't allowed to see where they are kept. The web site has some pretty sad video and pictures of the puppies. I feel like I should report what I know to the SPCA, but I know they run on so little money that I don't want them to have to go on a wild-goose chase for something that might be wrong.
