The sign out front says Puppy World Rescue, but there’s not a rescue pet in sight at a new Tucson-area store already under investigation over complaints it’s misleading consumers and violating state law.
The only puppies on offer are purebreds — with “adoption” fees of up to $3,500 — in the store that recently opened at Tucson Premium Outlets in Marana, according to complaints filed with the town’s animal control office.
The store recently relocated from California after the owner was served in that state with a lawsuit that claims he’s part of puppy mill network — a claim he denies, public records show.
He has figured out a way around it and is still part of a puppy mill. That is tragic.
