It gets worse. The guy who used to run it, in fact, is now doing time for armed robbery. But these allegations are very disturbing. You can read the lawsuit here. That case was brought by the owner of the Ringling Bros. It still took years for HSUS to settle. Good luck; these businesses should not excess! We just visited Petland Plantation and when we asked how much for the aussiedoodles etc.
We were in complete shock at the cost they are chraging for these dogs. We of course did not buy any, we are adopting, but wanted to educate our daughter on what these dogs are being sold for. This story is heart-breaking! We started seeing traits that were not characteristic of that dog, nor did he look like one. We immediately called Petland who said they dont have anything to do with the sale of puppies, but to file a claim through a third party, and also they have a distributor who buys puppies from these horrible breeders.
We asked him for a picture of the mom and dad… nothing! So then we called the claim company who told us he was the same. We said deliver papers and pictures. The third party company has refused to call us back. We purchased DNA tests and our puppy has 12 different breeds in him!! None sheepdog. He has a poodle and Springer spaniel as dominant and primary traits. If there is an attorney out here, please respond to: natasha.
We are looking to sue. When will Petland be shutdown?!?!? We urge you to share this information and complete our Puppy Buyer Complaint Form online.

Was just informed surgery was not covered. Mi experiencia fue horrible. Por eso estoy demandando. Is this over pricing legal??? Pet land seems like a profit sale on puppies. After spending 6, on an AKC registered puppy I am shocked to be in the emergency room a week later with a very sick puppy who is pooping blood!

If the animal is licensed, or otherwise identifiable, the person must contact the owner. The owner may wish to reclaim the animal, or may give the animal to the finder.
If the animal is unlicensed, the person should make reasonable efforts to find the owner. Reasonable efforts include putting up signs around the area in which the animal was found and notifying local animal shelters.
Most courts will award title and possession of an animal to a finder if the finder has made efforts to find the owner. Once an animal is brought into a humane society or city pound, that organization has an obligation, governed by federal and state or in some cases, local statute, to keep the animal for a prescribed period of time. This period of time varies from state to state.
During the time that the shelter holds the animal, the shelter must make reasonable efforts to find the owner of the animal. On the other hand, animals that do not have caring owners are best served if the state gains title after the owner has had sufficient opportunity to claim the animal. The function of state laws governing found animals protects both the animal and the owner; shelters should consider both interests in determining their own policies in compliance with state law.
The shelter has possession, but not title, of the animal during the required holding period. In terms of property law, the shelter has bailment of the animal — that is, the shelter holds the animal as property and has possession of the animal.
During the period of bailment, only the original owner can reclaim the animal, and he may be required to pay costs. For example, if the city or municipality brings animals into the shelter, and the owner is notified that they are there, the owner can be liable for any expenses incurred in board the animals.
If the owner does not pay, it is considered a forfeiture of the animal. If an owner brings in an animal, the shelter has to keep the animal for a statutorily prescribed period of time before adopting out the animal or otherwise disposing of it.
Additionally, the shelter can keep possession of the animal until it determines that the animal is suitable to be returned to the owner. For example, if the animal is injured, the shelter can treat the animal before returning it the owner, and can collects costs from the animal.
Humane societies do not gain title immediately to an animal that is unlicensed. Due to the overwhelming number of animals in a shelter, reasonable efforts include posting a list of found animals at the shelter.
When an animal is brought in, the shelter must add it to the list; generally, such lists are kept in chronological order with the most recently found animals listed first. Persons searching for their lost animal can look through the list or obtain information from the shelter over the phone. In general, courts will uphold the decision of a humane society to adopt out an animal, as long the humane society has complied with any necessary statutory requirements, such as the minimum holding period.
If the animal is licensed, that license shows ownership of the animal. Therefore, an animal that is clearly licensed for example, by wearing a collar with tags on it is deemed property of a specific person, and the shelter must make efforts to contact that person to let them know that the shelter has the animal. Further means of identification of an animal include micro-chipping, a practice that is now standard upon adopting animals from some humane societies, [38] and tattooing the animal.
Reasonable efforts generally entail calling or writing to the owner to inform him that the shelter has the animal and will hold it for a minimum number of days. If the owner does not respond within the statutory minimum holding period, the shelter gains title to the animal and can adopt it out or otherwise dispose of it. Shelters can collect costs from owners if the owner reclaims the animal.
An animal that is brought in to a shelter by a third party for example, a neighbor is treated the same as an animal brought in by local authorities. If the owner does not respond, the shelter is obligated to keep the animal for the requisite number of days; after that, the shelter gains title to the animal. Some states require a shelter to hold a licensed animal longer than an unlicensed one. There are policy reasons for this; first, an unlicensed animal is more likely to be sick or diseased from lack of care.
A license shows that someone owns, and presumably cares for, the animal. An animal may escape while its owner is on vacation; therefore, it makes sense for shelters to hold licensed animals longer, to give the owner a chance to reclaim his animal. Also, a licensed animal is generally one which has a loving home; shelters prefer to return an animal to a place where it can get proper care, rather than have the animal be euthanized or adopted out to an unknown family.
There are narrow exceptions in most state statutes that allow shelters to euthanize animals before the minimum holding period has expired. Once a shelter has held an animal for the statutory minimum number of days, the shelter has several options regarding the disposition of the animal.
The shelter can immediately adopt out the animal to a human family. It can also hold the animal for future adoptions; many shelters will do this while continuing to evaluate the animal for its potential success as an adoptee.
