I went to look around at Petland in Dunwoody because I was shopping for a Maltese. I walked in and there was a gorgeous Maltese in his cage. The price was $1499. Way overpriced. I held the tiny pup and fell in love.
In the play area where you can visit the pups, there is a sign up about financing the purchase of your dog. (?) I asked the sales girl about pet shops and puppy mills and was told that all of the animals come from local breeders. She told me I should hurry if I wanted this puppy because he wouldn't make it past the weekend - meaning someone would buy him. I hated being lied to. She also told me that she worked there because they were good to the animals. How could they be when they were never let out of their cells?
I DID not buy from this pet store nor would I EVER patronize this business. A vet in the neighborhood told me that she has heard many horror stories of pups purchased from this petstore. Shame on petland!
