I don't know anything about Petland, but there are two Petco's and  two
PetSmart's in my area, and they do not carry puppies or kittens.  As 
Bonnie and Grace said, they do have adoption days for local shelters
to bring dogs and cats for the public to adopt.   They also both  run
fund raisers for some of the local shelters.
