I'm getting sued for a "loss of contract" from a dog breeder because I said she was an 'accused' puppy mill online.

I think you have the free speech right to comment on this issue. You may also have good case for a SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) response for trying to restrict your speech against what you believe is bad treatment of puppies at this pet store (if available under your state's laws). I could not open the link to the ripoffreport that you provided, but it could also be that you stated your opinion, and opinions almost never provably false and therefore not defamation. Being blamed for a "loss of contract" means the pet store owner is saying that your posting caused some customre to back out of some deal because of what you posted. She'd have the burden of proof on this, and would have to have a witness who would testify that this was the case. The other procedural issue is her suing you while you're in GA in an OK court. Presumably when you worked at that store it was in OK? At any rate, you can't be served in GA, she has to serve you when you set foot back in OK for the OK court to have personal jurisdiction over you. You also can't be served by leaving papers on your doorstep, you have to be personally handed the papers, or they have to be handed to another adult. Is it possible this pet store owner is just trying to scare you into silence and either hasn't actually filed this suit or knows she hasn't got an easy case against you and that she hasn't served you properly? You should get a lawyer in your area or in OK, or contact the court yourself (they might have a webiste where you can check online) to see if these legal papers are legit.
