Add to Cart!

The unsavoury activities of a US puppy trader are causing upset amongst animal lovers in the UK. The online retail website orderpet.com and its sister site whose name makes no bones about the subject of the site - orderpuppy.com are asking visitors to their site to 'Add to Cart' quantities of a whole range of puppy breeds. After placing an order with orderpuppy.com the customer is told there is a 1-4 week waiting period during which the operators locate the puppy of choice and deliver direct to the door. The site makes no mention of any attempt to verify the suitability of the purchaser. Comments welcomed at: mailto:orderpuppy@aol.com Copyright 2000 Steve O'Malley (UKPets).
