Drunk Puppy Buying Is Banned In NYC

Never drink and drive adopt!

Inebriated passers-by are falling in love with playful pooches frolicking in the window of a West Village pet store, and the problem has become so bad the owner has banned them from taking the pets home.

A West Village shop owner said he once sold a Chihuahua to a woman she thought might have been drunk, only to have the dog returned the next day — in a near-dead state.

They took the dog to the vet and he found five pills in the dog’s stomach! The pup almost overdosed!

Another shop has come up with a creative way to test whether a customer is serious about the purchase:

“We have to tell them to come back the next day and most of the time they never come back.Most of the time it happens around holidays ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ St. Patrick’s Day or Gay Pride.”
