Wake up Petland!

Because there is a Petland in my hometown as well as other places I have lived I feel people should know NOT to purchase puppies from this store. Nor should you purchase a puppy from any pet store. Go to a reputable breeder before going to pet store like Petland. And even better, go to your local animal shelter! When you buy from a pet store you are most likely supporting puppy mills, an industry that abuses and neglects the dogs that breed (sometimes inbreeds) those cute puppies you see in the store. And those cute little puppies have lifelong illnesses because of lack of care costing you heartache and money.

America's largest chain of puppy-selling pet stores, Petland Inc., is also the nation's largest retail supporter of puppy mills. An eight-month investigation by The HSUS reveals that many Petland stores across the country are marketing puppy mill puppies to unsuspecting consumers. See video of investigation.
