A woman named Riley Peterson is demanding justice after losing her newly-adopted puppy to distemper virus and coccidia contracted from the pet store in College Station, Texas.
Riley went on social media to alert people about the suspicious pet store. Following her story, several people came forward to share similar horror stories of their experience with the same pet store.

Former customers of the “Puppy Station” pet store claimed that the store owners are preoccupied with profits and never care for the puppies.
They say the puppies are kept in unsafe and unsanitary conditions. The pet store owners never honor warranty and refuse to refund for the puppies who die shortly after adoption.
Former employees have shared disturbing pictures and videos of the puppies’ boarding conditions, which has upset animal activists. The public is now demanding strict action against the store owners.
Riley has also filed a lawsuit demanding compensation for her lost puppy. Let’s spread the word and demand strict action against this unethical pet store.
