An independent testimonial regarding Petland's treatment of animals.

I received the following email and have Shari's permission to reprint it. I have removed her last name to protect her privacy.

I bought a blind shih tzu puppy. He's so sweet. I paid $700 for him. After the vet faxed them a declaration about his condition, they had the nerve to call me and tell me they would give me back $450 and sell me the blind puppy for $150. Talk about slime.

Follow-up email after requesting permission to add her emails to this page:

Oh please make my day. They finally agreed to give me 2/3 of my money back - they actually charged me $150 for my little blind puppy. I quit trying to dicker with them. Now since this happened, I went back in a couple of petstores, and it is just so blatant that these petstores, like Petland, are perpetuated by animal cruelty. I didn't believe it until this happened. I didn't think people would sink that low. Petland was bright and cheerful. We have named him Chocolate - and he is so precious. They wanted us to bring him back and exchange him - and we said no way because they would just destroy him in some horrific way - ( I read what they do). The vet said that something was wrong with the nerve in his eyes, I hope they didn't hit him or throw him around. Lucky we have the other shih-tzu. They play all day and Gizmo is always protecting him. He'll be just fine. Everybody thinks he is so sweet. Thanks for everything you do
