Little Wonders Puppy Emporium

As I was strolling Sayville with my daughter, we stopped in Little Wonders just to look at the puppies. The owner was rude and nasty to us when we said we were just browsing. The store was clean but the puppies did not look so good. Two were lethargic and barely breathing, another one had gross green stuff coming out of his nose. I would NOT recommend this store to anyone!

No reputable breeder will ever ship their dogs interstate in an 18 wheeler truck to end up in a strangers hands. They care about the betterment of the breed and have a checklist of questions for consumer. They also want to meet consumers face to face. They will never sell to Puppy Stores.
Puppy Stores are buying from Commercial Breeders (commercial farming) aka Puppy Mills! Of course Commercial Breeder sounds nicer than Puppy Mill. Google: Puppy Mill. Educate yourself. Do your research before making a very costly mistake by purchasing a Puppy Mill puppy. Look at the images of Puppy Mills. YouTube videos of Puppy Mills. Learn the truths about the parent dogs forced to breed their whole life until they’re no longer of use, then killed!
Dogs sit in rusted wire cages 24/​7, without any socialization, without proper vet care, poor diet, tainted green water in bowls, no exercise, many with congenital diseases such as: parvovirus, kennel cough, giardia, hook worm, ring worm, hip dysphasia, heart murmurs, blindness, deafness etc. It is your right as a consumer to research USDA numbers written on store tags. For example this is what a USDA number looks like 71-​A-​1257
You can google: aphislookup, click on link and input any USDA number and it will trace dog to the kennel it came from, show any violations, allow you to research further. Google earth the Puppy Mill address. This particular number is a breeder Little Wonders Puppy Emporium purchased dogs from. This breeder has history of multiple violations. If consumers would research more, they would learn the truths. Why go to a Puppy Store and spend thousands for a dog that’s NOT a purebred, and may have health issues?
Each time a person purchases a dog, they fuel this cruel industry of animal abuse and neglect. The more people are educated with the truths, hopefully the less they will buy. There are multiple other ways to obtain a healthy pet that’s not cruel and inhumane:
Google breed specific rescues
Visit:
Visit: your local town shelter
Visit: local rescues in your area
Lastly, research a REAL, reputable breeder. If you Google: How To Find A Responsible Dog Breeder, the very first link is by Humane Society and has attachment which is a great read and provides a checklist.
Don’t ever buy a dog online or from a Pet Store. Make the responsible decision to save a life. Puppies aren’t products. They’re companion animals. They deserve to be treated better.
Best of luck!

All the puppies here are so healthy with the top care, it is a shame the protesters could not be persecuted for harassment. To judge and harass a store that they do not even know is so hurtful and unethical. I came from out east to see these puppies looking for a friend for my little dog. I will be back, and the owner asked me if I would like to hold the puppy I was interested in, I was very happy with today’s vist and would stick up for this store for there ethics in court if ever needed.

This store looks cute on the outside but the owner is not a very truthful person. The owner claims that the puppies he sells come from good local breeders. In fact the puppies sold in this store come from a puppy mill in Missouri where the parents are bred over and over and live in small cages their whole life. He also claims that his puppies are purebred. They are not, 2 Shih Tzu puppies bought from that store were proved to be mixes that cost $ 1,500 each. This was proven with a DNA sample and the money was refunded. If you want a puppy please go to your shelter or local rescue group, you not only save a life but it is much easier on your wallet as well.

My husband and I shop the store on a regular basis and consider it a great addition/​asset to our wonderful community. Even though we do not know the owner/​manager of the store, we have always been greeted warmly by each and every employee — which is one of the hallmarks of shopping downtown Sayville. It is obvious from the moment you walk into the store, it is professionally run. It is clean and bright with absolutely no pet odor at all. You can clearly see that all of the animals are extremely well cared for and purchased from reputable breeders. We are so happy to have them as part of our community and can only wish them continued success.
