WHAT: Beverly Hills, CA: Last Chance for Animals (LCA), Best Friends
Animals Society and concerned citizens are holding a press
conference in front of the Posh Puppy Store in Beverly Hills.
Through undercover investigation, LCA has discovered that
Los Angeles County is riddled with puppy mills and these mills
are supplying Los Angeles pet stores, like Posh Puppy. Posh
Puppy has two store locations: Beverly Hills has stopped selling
puppies, according to Posh Puppy employees, but the store in
Tarzana continues to exploit animals. LCA and Best Friends in
no way wants Posh Puppy to go out of business, we only want Posh
Puppy to stop selling live animals at both locations. We would
welcome the opportunity to be able promote Posh Puppy as a
humane pet store and help boost their business.
