Are there puppy selling pet stores near you?

[pitc9]

Yes,

There is a Petland near my work that sells puppies and there is also a Petsupplies Plus that sells birds, ferrets, rabbits and small reptiles.

Petland is very popular here. I'm shocked that so many people will buy dogs from them, I remember taking Payson to the vet once and the people that got there before us had a Petland puppy that seemed to have a ton of medical problems! The other thing that irks me is that they sell mutts for a huge price, don't people realize that the humane society sells mutts that are usually healither, about a quarter of the price and come already fixed and UTD on shots.

We also have an Animal Kingdom in the mall, and two other local shops that sell puppies.

Petland. I wish they wouldn't sell puppies, but they do, so I don't shop there.

One called Archer Puppies. They've been in business for a good 35-40 years and as I understand it, pretty reputable.

Another called Happiness is Pets. I've only been there once and it broke my heart into pieces.

Local Petco has fish, and local Petsmart has fish, amphibians, birds and a small selection of lil furry creatures. They both have big notice boards with local adoption programs, business cards, and rescue organizations if you want a dog or cat.

Selling cats or dogs in pet stores was banned here years ago.

Why aren't they shut down yet!??! Do we have names and locations of these stores? We need to shut these down!

Caseysmom, where in your neck of the woods are they?

There are also several Petlands here that sell puppies and kittens. I've been boycotting them for years. I also tell everyone I know not to go there and why.

There are two that I know of, one I haven't been in for 4 or 5 years but I think its still around another one for sure because I went in there earlier this year and had to bite my tongue, they are both in Citrus Heights a suburb of Sacramento.

My brother actually got his westie 8 years ago from one of them and told me they only use good breeders blah blah blah but his westie had lots of medical issues.
