Where Did You Buy Your Pets- Shelter, Breeder, Pet Shop Or Anyother??

[Glacier]

Muskwa came from a breeder, Earle is Muskwa's son.

15 of the dogs are former shelter residents, mostly long term shelter dogs. Most of them were there for at least a year.

The rest of the dogs came from other mushers for one reason or another, except for Bandit who I essentially stole from a former neighbor.

I voted pet store, Tia came from a pet shop whose owner we know quite well and have faith in her animal knowledge.

The gerbils actually came from a garden centre, in the pet section!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Almost all of my pets were rescues I got through my previous job. We have a couple that we bought before I got that job though. We also have a few that came from friends or family.

We adopted Beanie at a no-kill shelter.

I got Gracie from a sibe breeder in TN. She was a show dog until last Feb.

I bought Charlie from a breeder.

PiddyBob, my kitty, was a stray. She litterally ran to me hollering.

Two of my dogs were strays on the street. My dane, I got from a breeder. One of my cats came from a friend who had a litter. The two other cats I inherited when my grandmother died. Actually, they inherited me!

Cassie came to me from Harmony House for Cats, which is a cageless, no-kill, cats-only shelter in Chicago. My sister's RB cats both came to her from a relative, a veterinarian - they had been brought to his office after being found outdoors.

[Taz_Zoee]

I voted friend, because in a round about way that is how we got Taz.
Zoee we got from a breeder, not a BYB though.
Although, since I have been on this site for the past few months...any future animal I get will definitely be from a shelter or rescue org.

Timber's from a breeder.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Rita & Sadie are both from breeders, It was not my choice, though...
Hopefully our next dog will be a rescue.

[Chilli]

All of our pets came from so many different places.

Frisk & Don were the only ones from a breeder.
All the rest are basically rescues, either gotten from friends, as strays, shelters, or from neglectful petstores.
Not everyone can be counted as rescues, though, as some came from pretty good care. =]

[Vela]

Cracker and Ginger were from a breeder, Selena (red tail boa) was a rescue of sorts from my brother, one guinea pig (Ruby) was a rescue, my RB beardie Dragon was a rescue, the second guinea pig, (Oreo) was from Petco (they only had males on petfinders in my area and I needed a second female for companionship, etc), and my rats were first bought for food for Selena but I couldn't feed the girls so I have four rats.

[critter crazy]

All of my dogs and cats have either come from shelters, friends, family or as Strays!!

Now my bunnies and fish came from pet stores.

My Chickens came from Breeders.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Daisy was from an accidental litter from a friend. Delilah was owned by an elderly man that had to be put into a nursing home and his elderly wife couldn't keep her. The lady was about 75% blind and she already had another dog. Both would have been too much for her.

Both my dogs were from friends. My next dog, which will be when I'm living on my own and out of college, will be from a shelter.
