The Petland in Alpharetta closed last year. I had hoped that meant they had pulled out of GA altogether.
Doing some surfing today, I was disappointed to find they are still here.
I searched the corporate site and found something I thought was disturbing:
Pet Welfare at Petland Petland is aware of the many animal welfare issues in the news today. We know that members of some animal rights groups would have you believe that all pet store puppies are bred and raised in substandard facilities. This is untrue. Petland also disagrees with the agenda of animal rights groups that would deny people the right to own and live with companion pets. Like you, members of the Petland family love pets, and we share your animal welfare concerns. The health and well-being of our pets comes first for each of us at Petland. Petland stores are independently operated by qualified franchisees. Each is responsible for choosing healthy pets offered to Petland customers. Petland, Inc. provides each Petland store with humane care guidelines to assist in this important task
Talk about passing the buck. "We don't buy from puppy mills,it's the store owners who do..."
