About Puppies ‘N Love 

Puppies ‘N Love, along with Animal Kingdom, is a family-owned and operated pet store chain with locations in Phoenix, Glendale, Tempe, Gilbert, and Tucson. With a history dating back to 1966, our family has been dedicated to providing quality, healthy, and socialized puppies to families across the country. We specialize in purebred and hybrid puppies from ethical, reputable breeders, ensuring that every puppy is happy, healthy, and ready to bring joy to your home.

Our Family & History

Our journey began in 1966 when my father started the business in Buffalo, New York. In 1978, we moved to Arizona, where we’ve continued to grow and thrive. Today, our family operates five Puppies ‘N Love and Animal Kingdom stores, with my son, my sister Vicki’s three sons, and her daughter all actively involved in the business. Even our mother remains an integral part of the company. Our family’s name and reputation are at the heart of everything we do, and we take pride in being one of the most respected and successful pet store chains in the country.

Our Philosophy: Puppies Come First

At Puppies ‘N Love, we operate with a simple yet powerful philosophy: “Our puppies come first.” Every decision we make is guided by what is best for the puppies in our care. We believe that by prioritizing their health, happiness, and well-being, we create a positive experience for both the puppies and their future families.

Endorsement from the Pet Industry

Our commitment to ethical practices and the well-being of our puppies has earned us recognition and respect within the pet industry. Edwin Sayres, a lifelong animal welfare advocate and former president of the ASPCA, has praised our family’s approach, stating, “I’ve watched the Mineo family create a pet store chain that operates with the highest level of integrity in this industry.”

Doing What’s Best for Our Puppies

As Vicki Mineo explains, “We strongly believe that if we do what is best for our puppies, then we’ll have happy customers—and that is our goal. That is what’s best for business.” Through our work, we’ve introduced thousands of families to the joy and benefits of the human-animal bond, helping them find the perfect puppy to bring into their homes.

Bringing Joy to Families

Few things in life bring as much joy as a puppy. At Puppies ‘N Love, we specialize in offering the cutest, sweetest, and most sought-after puppies. Our puppies come from reliable, professional, and well-trusted breeders across the country, ensuring that they are healthy, socialized, and adaptable.

Ethical Breeding Practices

We are committed to sourcing our puppies from ethical, well-respected, and compassionate breeders. Our focus is on providing quality, healthy, and happy puppies that are ready to become beloved members of your family.
