The Coalition of Responsible Pet Stores is a group of like-minded small business owners who share a passion to connect families with the perfect puppy to ensure a lifelong fit and commitment.

We offer well-bred puppies from professional breeders. We work with only select breeders who pass rigorous, unannounced inspections by the United States Department of Agriculture, state and local inspections, as well as stricter requirements pursuant to New Jersey law, and far more stringent individual requirements of our store owners.

New Jersey pet stores became the most highly regulated in the country. Coalition store members worked with lawmakers, animal welfare advocates and other interested parties from around the state to carefully craft legislation with strict mandates for sourcing and consumer protection, yet fosters a cooperative atmosphere for small businesses to thrive.
