PJ’s Pets stores announced Tuesday that it will stop selling puppies on Sept. 1.
It’s part of company plan to promote adoption from animal shelters or humane societies.
“There is a great need for pets to be adopted,” said Stacey Halliday, director of marketing. “But it’s a conflict of interest because you can’t sell and adopt out at the same time. It’s a new era for PJ’s. It’s been part of our business for 40 years”
