With the current ban of pet sells proposal in Collier County Florida Puppies Online is at risk of having to close.

This ban was just proposed 2 weeks ago and is now being voted on. We believe this is being done very rashly in order to stop Petland from opening, but by doing so our family and staff are being very effected.



We have been in business here for years and have hundreds of customers that would be shocked something like this could happen.



We are licensed by usda and das and have never received even a warning from either.

We don’t believe it is right to shut down a successful business with a good reputation in order to satisfy the activist anti Petland agenda.



Please sign this petition to show your support for our business.

We would like the commissioners to consider grandfathering us in as we have been here doing business with no issues for years,

Grandfather this small business. This is not a puppy mill business and I know the breeders are governed by USDA. And the female dogs are limited to 3 litters before retiring and then adopted out to loving families.

We have already had a dog from a shelter fell in love and he passed away after a year from a genetic disorder that will not happen with puppies on line because their breeders have to test for this condition.

Rescues are great but rescue pets are not for everyone, especially for families w>th special needs or allergies. It should be a citizens right to purchase an appropriate healthy pet. Pet sales should not be banned.

We loved being able to get our puppy with Florida puppies. Our daughter has severe allergies. We were able to find the best puppy for her health concerns. They were wonderful! Please don’t take this away from families with health concerns.

We got our beautiful Luna from puppies online in July and are. so sad to hear they may be shut down. We had the best experience and Luna is the best dog. We hope the city will consider a grandfather clause for this wonderful place. They are the best!!

The local government must support the local businesses which provide steady jobs and important services for the community. A few loud activists do not represent the community. There are real problems in this community, but a local puppy shop is not one of them.

Naples residents need a quality pet store to purchase a pet from. Please don’t pass the ban on pet stores .

They are real people doing what is needed only the right way. Matching puppies up with the right homes to raise them.
