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

your pet is most likely prone to get sick from a byb and a pet store rather than a shelter.

True!! Very True!!!!

I found both of mine on www.petfinder.com

Sierra came from a GSD rescue and Buddy was at a local kill shelter.

Jasper is from the shelter. Hazel and Chubby are from a small, privately-owner pet store I used to work in that takes great pride in the care it gives its animals. Liberty was my boyfriend's mom's classroom pet until the school decided ot ban classroom pets.

Where did you buy your pets?? A shelter, breeder, pet shop, a friend or did you just rescue them off the street?

The first two dogs when i was born i have no idea where Dad got them from. The fishies came from Meijer and Ocean Odyssey. The newts came from OO. Two of my budgies came from Meijer, one from Walmart. My Rat Terrier came from a breeder (UKC, but she was only $35.) King (GSD) was rescued from a neighbor's. I rescued Trio (orange DSH) from a farm (a day before being sent to the pound.) Jasper (black DSH) was from a rescue. Koli was rescued from the pound. Many other dogs in the past that i saved directly from the streets. Either found their owners or good homes. Almost saved a stray kitty too, but he? disappeared the night before his vet apt.
