In a video statement, shop owner Shannon von Roemer called the incident 'horrific' and 'intolerable'.
'We've been in business for 14 years, and I want to assure you that this is a first,' von Roemer said. 'We will make sure that this doesn't happen again.
She said that the employee who hurled the dog was no longer employed at the shop.
'The dog is actually doing fine, and did go to the vet,' von Roemer said. She said that a checkup revealed that the dog had no physical injuries from the incident.

The statement did little to curb the outpouring of angry reactions online, however. 
'You should consider closing shop because you should not be operating a pet store that abuses animals,' one person commented on the shop's Instagram page. 
'Absolutely disgusting. You should be arrested and closed down,' another wrote.
Bark N' Bitches is a well known dog boutique, and calls itself the first 'humane' pet shop in Los Angeles.
The shop deals only in rescue dogs that have been abandoned, helping them to find a 'forever' home with loving owners.
