Co-owners Roger Kummer and Shania Sample say they got to the store at 6 p.m. on Sunday to check on the puppies. However, they discovered that the puppies — which include a Pomeranian, a Maltese, and others about 9 to 12 weeks old — were gone from their cages, along with six travel carriers.
They also say the back window of the shop was broken and a security camera was pulled from the wall.
The dogs sell for anywhere between $800 and $1,100.
