Where did you get your pets?

[Catty1]

Oscar was a feral who was tamed by the owners of a cat boarding kennel where I worked; Cole was dumped on the neighbouring acreage a year later.

Zoe was a feisty 10 year old when I fostered her for the local Humane Society. I failed, obviously!

Oscar, the former feral, is totally mommy's sucky boy - with purring and drooling into the bargain!

[Taz_Zoee]

Zoee is from a breeder after a family had to return her due to allergies.

Paizly is a rescue from a fellow PTer.

Taggart and Jax are from the shelter I volunteer with.

My RB Taz was from a family that had allergies as well.

Buddy found us, and I'm still hoping he is in his forever home right now with my coworker. I will find out next week.

RB Retread was from a humane society. My mom got him when he was 5 weeks old (this was back in 1983).

RB Buttons was given to us by a then-stranger (she's now my mom's best friend). She's not really a dog person and she bought two at once, one was Buttons and the other was his father (puppy mill of course), and when my brother begged for him (he was little and cute ) she said we could have him.

Mandy's a shelter baby, we got her at 8 weeks. She was a-freaking-dorable too

Nova's from a backyard breeder. Never, ever again. She is my heart dog and I will never, ever regret buying her but I just hate that she has so many horrible health problems and she's only a year old

Luka's a humane society dog, was probably from a backyard breeder originally judging soley by her conformation (mismark, underbite, dudley). We adopted her in November when she was almost 2 years old. She was abused really bad before the humane society got her.

Buck is from a reputable breeder.

[zoomer]

Buddy is from the pound and the other two are from breeders

[Lori Jordan]

All mine came from a breeder

[Sevaede]

Soni was a stray. Isis came from a lady who used to work with my husband. She was very much into Siamese and Ragdoll cats but none of her cats were or are altered so.... she ended up with a very large litter and we rescued a girl (who is in the process of getting spayed). Mortos, the gerbil, came from PetCo.

[joanofark]

I got all three of mine from friends whose pets had Pups/kitties.

[binka_nugget]

We got Kai from a breeder and Kaedyn from the shelter.

Two of the tiels came from a pet shop, one was from a breeder and two were rescued.

All of my fishies were either bred by me, from a very reputable breeder/lfs or breeders.

[chocolatecoffee]

Mocha came from a BYB before we knew better, we really didn't do enough research .

Panna and Cannelle are both rescues. Panna was an "I want her gone right away or she's going to the high kill shelter" so I flew her up to Canada from Las Vegas right away and Cannelle came from a rescue we foster for. I wouldn't have it any other way, I'm never going to buy another animal.
