Vasquez had originally listed the puppies for sale on Craigslist, according to FOX 11.
A woman who responded said she'd be coming alone, but ended up bringing two other men with her, Vasquez told FOX 11.
They allegedly looked at the puppies, before the two men grabbed the puppies and ran away, the news station reports.

In the struggle, one of the men hit Ana and cut off some of her hair, she told FOX 11.
Osvaldo said he was at work when the incident occurred. He told FOX 11 he feels "angry and sad" that this happened to his wife.
North Hollywood Police told PEOPLE they have arrested 24-year-old Crystal Valdez in connection with the robbery, but they are still searching for the two men and the dogs.
It is unclear if Valdez has been charged with a crime, has retained legal representation at this time or has entered a plea if charged.
