“We’re very upset about it,” Nichols said.
Nichols said they’re mostly worried about who the dogs are with.
“Our biggest thing is these puppies are in a position where they are probably not getting vet care or vaccines like they’re needing to, so we’re just doing everything we can to do to try to get these puppies back,” Nichols said.
The pet store filed a report with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
CCSO said it’s an active case.
The dogs are both microchipped.
