Cleveland Heights Petland closed for good on June 21! It was worth freezing my butt off on a few occasions. Celebration next week. This feels GOOD! WE DID IT.

Oh and to continue, the government needs to go after the mills themselves. Stronger restrictions and the manpower to actually inspect these so called kennels. The government is going to be the only way to shut down puppy mills and byb's for the sole fact of Petland is making money, these dogs and cats do need homes, GO STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE.

I had purchased both of my dogs from Petland. Unfortunately not everyone sees eye to eye on this issue. I believe that ALL DOGS HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE LOVED. I do not agree with puppy mills and do agree that they need to be stopped. However, I got both of my dogs from Petland because they were high energy dogs who need a lot of love and attention as well as exercise (An Aussie and Sheltie). Nadia (my Aussie) had a seizure at 10 months and required 24/hour care by a vet for 5 days. The area that I live in is a low income area and knowing the people that live around me they would have put her down. I gave her a chance to live. My Sheltie was cooped up in a cage too small for her and the Jack Russell that she was sharing it with. Both had kennel cough and worms. My dogs cost me more money in Vet bills than my rent for an entire year. And unfortunately not a lot of people can do that I thankfully had help from my family who are all dog lovers and get their dogs from AKC Registered Breeders. I however can not allow myself to know that if someone else bought them that they would have ended up in a shelter (there is only a few no kill shelters around my area) or had them put down because they couldn't afford their bills, or abused them further. Boycotting Petland is not going to get you anywhere, it's going to hurt the animals that are already there. I think of it as a shelter that costs more money because believe me I've been in some shelters that smell like feces and urine and it makes you gag immediately when you walk in the door. All of these animals deserve a better life. And I know that my two are happy girls in a big happy family.

i have been in a couple lands and they make me sick . iam a lover for dogs actually any animal. the r in these little cages no human contact except if someone wants to see them. i think it is awful that them kind of places r not regulated. their is no one to look up on them. we have babysitters checked out why not places like that. it's because some people seeb them as just animals.(not me) it sad that more people dont care about animals. my mom lost her poodle-docksin mix dog almost two years ago. she a week later found a tea cup poodel and bishon in the paper. she purchased them from a foster home or thats what they sad . she said when she got their their was a small cage for foster dogs and the rest were in cages all up and down the wall. she found her new puppies in one of the cages the women sold her a full blooded tea cup poodle and a bishon poodle mix for 175 dollars . but that wasnt it she then turned around and say a very small bishon female . she took her to. i asked her when called was it a puppy mill and she said yes. i told her u dont buy puppies from their. and then she told me something i had never thought of isnt it cruler to leave them their or to get them and give them good lifes. so i think either way it gos if u buy from a puppy mill it is wrong but if u leave them their u feel bad so could someone exsplain to me what u should do. i dont go to puppy mills both my dogs came to me by chance .

My name is christina, and i have purchased my sweet baby from a petland store. I don't beleive in puppy mills i think it is cruel and i think that the animals should be treated fairly, no animal should be in those kind of conditions. I have went to a petland store just for hermit crab food, then i saw my baby tweek. He looked at me with those sweet loving eyes, of all the other dogs i picked tweek. Tweek picked me as his mother, a dog choses there owner you cant change that. If i would have known at that time that he came from a puppy mill, i would still hve gotten him, because we picked eachother.

I couldn't sleep last night because of idiots. First I read this, then a thread about BSL laws in Sioux City. People disgust me. You think this is a place where we can take a break, share our thoughts, expierences, but then she shows up and A. supports petland, puppy mills, the neglect and torture these animals face, AND B. is SO ignorant on the topic of pits but still goes on to share it. Makes me wonder if we told her the sky was purple, she would believe it. Part of my comment was cut out, but it said pits were once America's dog before humans ruined their reputation. I hope she is gone!

This Kristine person has not been on since she made that retarded post...so whether she sees this or not is beyond me. This is why animal abuse will never stop, because of ignorant people

Comment by amy smith on October 10, 2008 at 10:00pm

Kristine do you have ANY IDEAL what you are saying? It is ignorant, " because of the strong love for people and children? DO you know that human aggression is NOT a characteristic of the breed? They pass tempermant tests with flying colors? If abused and neglected, they may show animal aggression, which by the way can be treated. BUT THERE ARE BREEDS THAT DON'T HAVE TO BE TREATED POORLY THAT ARE DOG SELECTIVE OR DOG AGGRESSION AND ARE KNOWN TO HARM PEOPLE. But this is NOT pits. Furthermore, buyng from petland, you are encouring abuse and neglect on animals. Do you know what puppy mills are? Do you know they force and overbreed animals? Really, why are you here? You seem to condone and accept animal neglect. I think you joined the wrong website. Sorry to be rude, but people like you make me sick!
