STOP PUPPY MILLS UPDATE
November 24, 2008
***************************************
Dear Pet Lovers and Advocates of Fair Treatment,
Thank you so much for taking the time to ask Petland to stop selling puppies. Since our investigation into Petland Incorporated broke on Thursday, tens of thousands of advocates like you have contacted Petland and urged the chain to stop selling puppies. Thank you for speaking out! Our investigation of this puppy-selling chain revealed that Petland is the nation’s largest retail supporter of puppy mills.
You may have received an “undeliverable” or other error message in your email inbox indicating that your message to Petland’s corporate headquarters was not delivered. We anticipated the possibility that Petland would stop accepting emails from its customers and other advocates, so we made sure that your emails were carbon copied to our Stop Puppy Mills campaign here at The HSUS.
Despite the “undeliverable” or error message you may have received, your message will not be lost; we will make sure your email gets to Petland’s corporate offices.
In the meantime, if you live near a Petland and haven’t done so already, I encourage you to call or visit your local store to tell them you are concerned about puppy mills. Click here to find the address and phone number of your local Petland store:

Finally, please take a moment to call Petland’s coporate headquarters at 740-775-2464 or toll-free at 800-221-5935 and ask them to stop selling puppies.
Thank you again for your concern — and action — to help stop puppy mill cruelty. We pledge to keep the pressure on Petland until the company does the right thing for animals. With your continued help, we’re confident we will succeed.
Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO, The Humane Society of the United States
P.S. I also encourage you to tell your friends and family members who shop at Petland how they can get involved:

Save a Life…Adopt Just One More…Pet!
Everyday we read or hear another story about pets and other animals being abandoned in record numbers while at the same time we regularly hear about crazy new rules and laws being passed limiting the amount of pets that people may have, even down to one or two… or worse yet, none.
Nobody is promoting hoarding pets or animals, but at a time when there are more pets and animals of all types being abandoned or being taken to shelters already bursting at the seams, there is nothing crazier than legislating away the ability of willing adoptive families to take in just one more pet!!
Our goal is to raise awareness and help find homes for all pets and animals that need one by helping to match them with loving families and positive situations. Our goal is also to help fight the trend of unfavorable legislation and rules in an attempt to stop unnecessary Euthenization!!
“All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions which are employing full-time pet therapists and animals is increasing daily.” ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet Love

Great Book for Children and Pet Lovers… And a Perfect Holiday Gift
One More PetEmily loves animals so much that she can’t resist bringing them home. When a local farmer feels under the weather, she is only too eager to “feed the lambs, milk the cows and brush the rams.” The farmer is so grateful for Emily’s help that he gives her a giant egg... Can you guess what happens after that? The rhythmic verse begs to be read aloud, and the lively pictures will delight children as they watch Emily’s collection of pets get bigger and bigger.
