This scummy place uses Oleo Acres as one of the brokers for their puppies. Ask her when she gets her puppies delivered. This is one of the brokers she uses. They were convicted of animal cruelty because of the conditions of the transport.

The hell these poor animals endure is beyond belief. Those who profit from their misery represent the worst of humanity. Do something this weekend that you can be proud of-join the protest.

This website is tainted with foul news articles. How do you have nothing better to report on? A news reporter, even public contributor should remain neutral, but this crud?!? Horrible, you can't argue anything when you are so biased, this article is invalid. Dogs will continue to be force-bred, people will continue to buy them, and poor articles and weak protests such as this will have no impact. Enjoy wasting your time, I am much more upset that patch let this junk go up than this struggling pet store be bombarded by hippies.

Actually Caroline, this is an individual that submitted this article, not a reporter. Second, we're not hippies, we're people who care about someone, or something other than themselves, might try it sometime. Lastly, these aren't just bred dogs, these are puppy milled dogs. Two dogs in a cage, stacked high, never taken out for a walk, have any human interaction or even remotely treated as an individual of any sort should be treated. I truly pity people who can't see what these creatures of God's go through and stand by doing nothing about it. I also pray these same individuals do not have children that they are teaching such hatred towards people that are doing nothing but trying to make the world a better place. Oh and one other thing, these protests are proven to work. Because of these peaceful demonstrations, Lombard no longer allows the sale of dogs or cats in stores. Many areas around the country are taking this lead and all of God's creatures are starting to be treated more humanely. I truly wish people that think this is a waste of time and condone this type of behavior, could be put in the same situations as the dogs for a week and then come out telling everyone how great it is to be treated so horribly! Doesn't take a genius to figure any of this out.

I also find it very funny Caroline, your only post on any Patch article has to do with this. Makes me think you are involved in the Puppy Parlor. God bless you if you are, God doesn't like any of his creatures being mistreated.

The name of the woman who owns the Puppy Parlor is Tammy Coglianese.

If you google that name an article comes up about a woman with the same name being arrested for theft awhile ago. From what I've researched on the internet I believe it is the same woman who owns the Puppy Parlor.

Google also has articles stating that the owner of the Puppy Parlor, Tammy Coglianese, has been suspended from all privileges for life from the American Kennel Club.

And as far as the Puppy Parlor being "a struggling pet store", as referred to in the above post...... If you google Tammy Coglianese...articles say that she lives in OAKBROOK.

The conditions at the Puppy Parlor are inhumane. Protests are effective as they give the people who are educated on the subjects of puppy mills, authorities to contact, animal rights, etc. the opportunity to share their knowledge with others.
In this case, these people are making people aware of the poor treatment of animals at the Puppy Parlor.
In turn, others can contact the correct authorities, take actions to try and get laws changed, make others aware of the situation at hand, etc. This is how people can make a difference and end this kind of abuse... town by town, ordinance by ordinance. As people and societies evolve...so does the way they treat their animals. Animals rights have improved over the past decades with the help of people taking a stand and making a difference.

What is the Village doing about this?

She's just within legal limits (barely), their hands are tied for now.

Caroline I don't argue on public forums. It's childish. I state facts and what you choose to do with those facts are your business. If you want to support cruelty, abuse, neglect and fraud so be it. If you think stacking dogs in cages in the back room of a store is ok, never seeing the daylight, never going for a walk, etc......you just showed the public what kind of person you are. No need to converse with you. Actually it was Villa Park who worked with us on passing an ordinance. They are the first city to go humane, and that is just the beginning.

First city in Illinois, sorry, there are approximately 30 cities in the United States that have gone humane so far, Los Angeles being the biggest, in November 2012. I have reports from 6 kill shelters in Illinois, just 6 of them, there are probably hundreds in Illinois. The total number of dogs put down in 2011 from just SIX kill shelters is over 10,000. Do we need pet stores selling dogs? Pet stores sell dogs to anyone with a visa card and most of them end up in the shelter.

Yes, the poor pet store. Making a profit off the misery of animals and lying to consumers about where the dogs come from and the quality of the breeding. They buy the puppy mill puppies from some filthy hell hole for $200 and then sell them to an unsuspecting consumers for $2000 while contributing to pet overpopulation. Then, we, the taxpayer, get to pick up what is currently a $2 billion a year cost of rounding up, housing, killing and disposing of over 2 million excess pets a year so these ethically challenged people can "make a profit" at our expense! We recycle our garbage but these sweet innocent animals get thrown in a land fill on a whim. My only concern about this questionable business is how can we stop them from inflicting suffering on the animals and our neighbors.

That's right you did tell me that Dianne. Thank God I have you and Ida to correct the errors of my ways :) Thanks for all you two do!

goddess, of course, please join us, feel free to email me at idamccarthy@yahoo.com.

Stop puppy mills! Join us on Saturday 1-19 to educate the public where this store gets their puppies. We will be there from 1:00 - 3:00. Every week, maybe we'll change the time or day, but every week till this place is GONE!

If you would like to read about the horrific conditions inside Puppy Parlor and their cruel treatment of their dogs and puppies, here's the investigation recently conducted by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. See page 4:

Ok, that's it. I'm furious. What's going on here? Among the many things the puppies were suffering from was malnutrition. Malnutrition is definitely something that could be considered gross incompetence of the pet shop owner. The owner of the pet shop should be disciplined for this according to the Illinois Animal Welfare Act. Why isn't she? The Department of Agriculture is acting corruptly. They are not following the rules of the Illinois Animal Welfare Act. They are not even following their own rules. It's black and white. Puppies are dying, they're sick, they're malnourished. What is going on...someone please tell me, please.
