WHERE: Pet Fashion Boutique, 565 Columbus Ave., New York, New York 10024 Between 87th and 88th

WHY: Pet Fashion Boutique sells dogs from puppy mills - commercial breeding facilities that mass-produce puppies for resale through pet shops and brokers. USDA licensed facilities are puppy mills.

• Kathy Bauck, using her husband’s name, sold puppies to Pet Fashion Boutique in August. Bauck, who was one of the largest dog brokers and breeders in the country, was convicted of animal cruelty in March 2009 based on evidence from a six-week undercover employment investigation by CAPS. USDA issued a Decision and Order on December 2 that terminates Bauck’s license. The actual termination takes place within 60 days of service. In the meantime, Bauck will continue to sell to pet shops in NYC, New Jersey and on Long Island.
