Petland's front door was shattered. The store is at East 71st Street and South Garnett Road. The individuals arrived and left in a white Dodge Charger with no license plates.
Each puppy weighs between 6-14 pounds and is 10-12 weeks old. Two of the puppies have 'rare' colors, including a black, white, and tan English Bulldog, and a chocolate merle French Bulldog. The total retail value of the puppies is over $25,000.
Ryan Hamel, the director of Petland Tulsa operations, hopes the community helps him find the puppies and thieves.
"In situations like these, the public can be very helpful in recovering stolen puppies – as they are stolen not to be pets, but to be sold to other people as a high-demand breed," Hamel said.
