I keep seeing Petsmart has puppies for sale, the petsmarts in our area only do dog rescues?
Is it petsmart or is it just easier to say petsmart when you say a dog store? Just curious… I know up north where I used to live everyplace used to be Petland even if it had a different name…
See I knew they didnt sell them, its just with some of the questions and answers on here it sounds like it…
Our rescue does adoption days on Sats and Suns at petsmart.
You aren’t imagining things. There are a few users on this site who insist that Petsmart sells puppies. They do not, but these users just don’t seem to get it when they are corrected. You will likely see it again!

Petsmart does not sell dogs. They do have rescue puppies up for adoption.

No petsmart that I know "sells" puppies. I know that every Saturday at my Petsmart they do an Adoption Day for Dogs and cats too I think.

Petsmart doesn’t sell puppies, but they do rescue them, then adopt them out that’s where I got my puppy and he is the best dog I have ever owned.

One of petsmart’s policies is that they do not sell dogs or cats. They offer adoption space.
Plenty of people get confused about this and think they are buying a dog from petsmart. They don’t understand that it’s an independent rescue organization that’s allowed to have a booth in petsmart.
And yes, some people just use "petsmart" for any store.

Petsmart does not sell dogs nor will they ever,sometimes customers are confused when we have "adoption" days in which participating store have kennels permanently set up within the store,,,they are displayed in the store but are 100% cared for by the residing shelter staff and adopted through the shelters and not by petsmart,,,Petsmart does do promotional sales WITH the adoption of an animal on supplies

Petsmart lets rescue groups and shelters use their stores adopt out dogs and cats. Because there is a fee for the pets, many people probably think they are ‘buying’ the pet. I hear this in the SPCA where I volunteer all the time. People refer to the dogs as being ‘for sale’ and that they are going to ‘buy’ one.
