How many dogs are there in the U.S.?

Take a walk down any city street or suburban sidewalk, and it’s pretty easy to see – dogs are a big part of our lives. It’s estimated that Americans own around 70 million dogs.¹

We help create and enforce standards for everyone in the pet business.

How do most Americans get their dogs?

It may surprise you that as few as 4% of dogs are brought home from a pet store, while as many as 37% of dogs are adopted from shelters or rescues and 34% from breeders. The majority of puppies purchased from pet shops become members of the family for life, with very few dogs purchased from pet stores ending up in shelters.

What happens to puppies who don’t get adopted or end up without a home?

Many pet stores like Safari Stan’s Pet Center have policies in place to ensure that all puppies find a home. Safari Stan’s Pet Center recognizes that its customers have the best of intentions, planning to exceed their pets’ basic needs with love and proper care for a lifetime.

Occasionally, however, circumstances arise making it difficult for pet owners to keep their lifetime promises to Safari Stan’s Pet Center pets. In these cases, Safari Stan’s Pet Center Pet Counselors encourage customers to let Safari Stan’s Pet Center help find a new home for their pets. Assistance at Safari Stan’s Pet Center may include posting flyers in the store and at associated veterinary clinics, making pet placement calls and informing Safari Stan’s Pet Center Pet Counselors, who in turn will spread the word to friends and family.

Safari Stan’s Pet Center goal is to see that no Safari Stan’s Pet Center pets end up homeless or burden an animal shelter. Safari Stan’s Pet Center also has a Pets-for-a-Lifetime! policy intended to ensure no Safari Stan’s Pet Center pets end up homeless or in an animal shelter.
