PuppiesbyZ

PuppiesbyZ sells pure breed, registered puppies with pedigrees, sourced from breeders the shop says it selects carefully and does not work with puppy mills. Every puppy comes with a veterinary health certificate, vaccinations and deworming, a microchip, a one-year health guarantee, lifetime veterinary consultations, and club registration. Financing is available for purchases.

The business runs two boutiques, one in the Sunset/Kendall area of Miami and another in Doral, both under the same name. Shoppers can browse the available puppies online before visiting. The founder, Zahina Porto, moved to Miami from Cuba in 2011, and the shop runs an informal program that gives a free puppy each month to a family of a child with special needs. The team also stays available to new owners after the sale for support.
