Pet store with puppies! grrr

[animal_rescue]

when i lived in Terre Haute,IN there was a Petland there. that store was terrible! they had puppies with open wounds, ribs showing, in poop filled cages, etc. i got thrown out of there countless times. after a while i was just stopped at the door. i personally think that Petland is one of the worst chain of Petstores. the petstore i worked for(PassPets) was pretty bad too.

I went to that store! I was on vaca with my aunt visiting her SIL and she took me there, have you been to Pet Barn? That place was worse than Pet Land! It made me cry being there, the lady is in court now after they found a dead puppy behind her dumpster!

ACK ACK AAARRRRGH!!! How many of us does it take to make people that SHOULD know better listen? Is everyone totally ignorant about the dangers - not just to these poor dear pups but to the families that take them in - the dangers and heartbreak they are just waiting for. It's like buying baby bunnies at Easter.. OH PLEASE can we do something? This is just so heartbreaking. Keep on, keep on. We must not get discouraged. Just keep on what we are trying to do. In many there must be strength.

i did the same thing at PetBarn. they kicked me out multiple times. that place stunk so bad i could barely breath! i'm glad that lady is going to court! maybe she'll understand that the crazy girl(me) that would come in every week and get her customers to go to the shelter was right.

There are three otherwise very responsible pet stores in my area that sell puppies and for some reason no matter what I say my whole family still thinks it is ok because they get their puppies from "breeders" and give their names. Anyone who breeds to give to pet stores is just in it for the money

There is a pet store right by my house, that sells puppies year round. ! That makes me sooo angry that he does this, becuause the puppies get no fresh air, little exercise, and on top of all that, it smells pretty bad in there. And he sells mixes for quite a lot.

omg me too! i used to volenteer there(b4 i knew they came from mills and stuff) and they had kids working there dropping puppies from up high and they had frigin kennel things up high and sometimes forget to close and lock them and the pups would fall out at night...and they were so cruel to there animals...a kitten died there and they never got in trouble for it...they let there hampsters fight till one is dead..i always found dead ones... and on top of that they tought the voulenteers to do the same as them...i would try to take the pups out to socialize them but i got yelled at... uggh and i went in there the other night they had somepointers in a play pen and OMG the one was all skin and bones i couldnt even get a proper grip on him he was so skinny so i told one of the guys i knew to feed him some more hopefully he lsitens

I don't like the idea of Pet Stores AT ALL! There is one very close to me, and all of there puppies have been well taken car of, and the staff is very intellectual. Atleast the puppies aren't underweight, or tortured. They always have atleast one or two puppies being socialized too. That is one of the "better" stores I guess. I still won't buy a puppy from them though!
