Our first newsletter of 2022! HSUS colleagues make it a special holiday season for sick puppies relinquished by New York pet store   The holidays were busier and happier in at least three HSUS households this season, as colleagues stepped up to care for three puppies relinquished by the American Kennels pet store in New York City. The relinquishments of Rocky, Rosie and Pogo came on the heels of our recent undercover investigation, which showed that the store was selling sick puppies and failing to provide proper care to sick dogs in the store, resulting in at least one puppy’s death.
