On May 11 the city council will vote on whether to pass the 'Dallas Humane Pet Store Ordinance'. The ordinance would ban the sale of dogs and cats at pet stores.
"It is really important that, when people walk into a pet store or a shelter or wherever they're going, and their goal is to bring home a new furry family member, you want to make sure that the puppy is healthy" said Stacy Sutton Kerby, the director of government relations at the Texas Humane Legislation Network.
"He visits his breeder and gets to see where the puppies are coming from so, he has that level of confidence," Elizabeth Kunzelman, Petland's VP of Legislative and Public Affairs said."He's had the store for 13 years. He has an A+ BBB rating, and I think that speaks volumes as to the quality of service that he provides."
Feel bad for the employees but should help clear the shelters in the city
