Animal Kingdom & Puppies 'N' Love

We are avid animal lovers, as was my father who started the business in 1966 in Buffalo, New York then moved it to Arizona in 1978. The company is truly family-owned and operated — my son and my sister Vicki’s three sons and daughter work at the stores and our mother is still active in the company. We operate one of the most well-respected and successful pet store chains in the country. After all, our family’s name and reputation are at stake.

We manage the business with an ‘our puppies come first’ philosophy, so no decision is made without first considering what is in the best interest of our puppies. We do right by them first and foremost and everyone who works for us has the same belief.

Few things in life bring as much joy to individuals, families and other pets, like puppies. Our stores feature the cutest, sweetest and most sought-after puppies because we seek and find them from reliable, professional and well-trusted breeders throughout the country,” she says.
