You know, the worst part is that those puppies that are sold at Petland are usually overpriced. It's terrible how you pay them so much just to torture those poor puppies!

Thank you HSUS and good luck.

The Kittens/Puppies at the pet store I go to are shelter animals looking for adoption. Why can't all pet stores be this responsible?

@katniss11

Good point....

Petland Canada is selling all of their current puppies and only dealing with rescues.

This is a horrible dilemma. Leave the puppy mill dogs at the horrible PetLands, or "buy" them to save them from PetLand. If we all stop, some puppies have to take a sacrifice. If we all buy them, Puppy Mills continue! ARGH!

I live in OH,so theres alot of puppy-mills,back yard breeders,and stupid

''news-paper breeders''(breeders who advertise there puppies in news-papers)

@friedie1jeff untrue, stores are what need to be targeted. Puppy mills are quiet and disingenius, therefore they leave no paper trail and are harder to close. The only petland in NC closed last month because of a lack of sales and the increase of public awareness. Their illegal practices were exposed and the market dried up. Petland employees and consumers are not informed of these practices and shouldnt be targeted but owners are quite aware and guilty.

If you don't buy them, they will be killed and have spent all their life in a cage since birth - you are not stopping the breeding or slowing it down - people will always want special breed's.. get over it, your chicken, cow food is milled, pets are a product in today's society, whether you like it or not - Its reality - People buy pets for love and companionship just like they buy clothes & makeup for confidence.

in the back of petland the puppies crated for who knows how long?

the problem is there are still a million people out there who have no idea where dogs at pet shops come from. We need to get the word out more in some way more than just scattered news reports and the occasional protest, the word needs to get out nationally and frequently.
