Summary: Six pet owners have sued Happiness is Pets, a Chicago-based pet store accused of selling sick dogs purchased from puppy mills or breeding companies known to place profit before animal welfare. The pet owners “purchased puppies sold by Happiness which falsely represented that its puppies were healthy and came from private and reputable breeders,” according to the complaint filed last week.
