Petland Charities | Improving the lives of canines

Improving the lives of canines.

Petland Charities is committed to improving the lives of adult dogs and puppies by working alongside the animal welfare community to enhance and strengthen standards of care in all areas of breeding. Critical to this will be the establishment of a universal standard for animal welfare that ensures breeders put their puppies’ health and wellness above all else. In this effort, Petland Charities is a leading supporter of Purdue University’s groundbreaking Canine Care Certification program. It is currently the gold standard for animal welfare, with certification criteria that is above and beyond existing state and federal regulations.
