I visited Steve's because I was new to the area and didn't know what horrors awaited me. Though they have neat toys, I bought nothing from Steve's. The sale of puppies in pet stores is archaic and barbaric. Everyone knows where these dogs come from. Everyone knows that when you buy one you put money right in the pockets of puppy mill butchers. They deny that their puppies come from mills but couldn't put me in direct contact with any breeder!
Even petco and pet-smart, huge, soulless chains, only keep ASPC adoptable dogs and cats todays. This store needs to be shut down.
Please, the next time your child begs to go see the cute animals take the opportunity to educate them about humane and responsible husbandry, and DON'T cave in.
Pros: None worth selling your soul for!
Cons: Puppy mill puppies and unknowledgeable staff.
