Harbor Pet Center

If you are in a bad mood and you want to play with puppies to cheer you up, don’t come here!
I left feeling so sad and also so motivated to do something about puppy mills. The owner will say that he gets them from breeders that he trust, but I just don’t know if I can trust him. I mean how can you get that many dogs from breeders? That you trust? Also they charge over $ 1200 for dogs. I mean that screams puppy mill.
The smell that radiated from Siamese cats was revolting! I felt so bad for them all huddled in the corner. (Also I think if you buy a cat, that’s just silly, they are free at the shelter. Free Cats!) The dogs, while all awake and in good spirits, had poop in most of the cages, some scratched holes near where the water was and some had 3 and 4 in a cage that was clearly too many.
Lastly, there is also a guy dressed as a dog on the street corner flagging people into the store. I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy all the time because he always does this «Be-​Bop» dance, as my sister and I refer to it lol. One day I drove past and there were protesters across the street saying that they were against puppy mills. He had a sign that said,“I’m against puppy mills too” it was weird.

Do not support puppy mills! Never buy a dog from here. Adopt from a local rescue or shelter!

This store was horrible. Not only did they have tiny cages, uncaring staff but the dog attacked my mother. When we confronted the staff the acting like we were lying. We will be speaking to the owners tomorrow and I personally will be contacting the animal rights group of the area. If anyone else had something like this happen to the I beg you to also report this fowl place.

if i could give less than 1 star, i would. this place is just terrible. overcrowded. overpriced. the dogs look ill and uncared for. it’s nothing but the ugly face of puppy mills. this place needs to be shut down for its horrible conditions and practices. :(

puppy mill dogs. do not buy!

I wouldn’t buy a dog from here if someone else paid. The dogs live in cramped conditions, come from puppy mills or commerical kennels and are viewed as nothing but profit. Personally, I will adopt all of my pets until the day that I die but if you feel the need to buy one, do it directly from a breeder. They provide a much better home for these pets and provide better care. The reason this franchise was kicked out of the Petland franchise should be reason enough not to shop here. I won’t go into details, but Google «Chapel Hill Petland» and you’ll find out.
