Petland takes its obligation to be part of the community very seriously. Petland is proud of its leadership in the area of public education on spaying and neutering as a way to halt pet overpopulation as well as its pro-active adoption program for placement of homeless litters of puppies and kittens, whether from a shelter, pet rescue group or just a member of the local community.

A child's first class tour at Petland where she learns to finger-tame a parakeet is priceless. Equally gratifying is the look on a senior citizen's face while holding a Petland kitten. Petland therapy is a natural extension of Petland's retail environment and our pet counselors love visiting schools and nursing homes with Petland pets.
