For everyone else that has a petland or petstore near them selling puppies, look around before you buy. We are all here to educate each other, lets spread the word.
I am near a petland in Lansing Illinois, I always stop in to look around because it's in a strip mall. I hate the conditions of the cages and how they put 2 and 3 dogs in one bin. There was a yorkie in a cage with a terrier(?)and a maltese. The yorkie couldn't defend himself as they were wrestling with her. I asked if I could hold her and she was shaking terribly. I stroked her for about 10minutes & she fell asleep. If for only 10 minutes I was happy I could give her 10 mins of peace. The paws on another one of the pets was bruised from walking on the metal cage for so long. I was appalled the wanted $1500 for her. They need to supply the name of the breeder they purchase pups from when you buy a dog from them. But that's bad business so we know they won't do that. There needs to be some type of regulations and fines brought against them. They will shut your restaurant/business down for not being clean, or different violations. They need to do the same for pet stores and bad breeders. |
Oh Kodak - that was awful to read and I SO agree with what you said....I agree spreading the word can only HELP the next person....I am so passionate about pet stores and the mistreatment of dogs by Petland that I tend to get a little too vocal - but this is WHY I try to post about them - I want to help others out there who don't know - like I didn't know years ago - and just like you, it infuriates me what they get away with - what you just said is heartbreaking
Kami...I'm praying for your little yorkie. Your heart must hurt so bad right now....whatever happens you did your best and that's what matters....it doesn't make this any easier ....but in your babies short life you are his hero. I'm hoping things turn around for him....
If there is anything you need just say the word ....sending you a hug and lots of sympathy.
