TOMS RIVER, N.J. — Owner Pat Youmans believes his rescue-only retail store may be the first of its kind in the region — stocked with puppies that were all saved from kill shelters, he’s turned a new cheek with the animal rights protestors who used to picket in front of his traditional puppy store on a daily basis.
“We hated each other in the beginning,” he said.
Alan Braslow of Cherry Hill led the charge against Youmans’ store. But the two enemies later sat together for four hours and formed a plan to transport puppies to New Jersey for adoption.
