whos dogs are from petstores?

We adopted Bijou from a rural rescue after seeing her on Petfinder, and Bonnie, our first cat, was adopted from a shelter that has adoption days at Petsmart. Levi and Charity were fostered through a shelter and then we adopted them through the kitty adoption center that is housed at Petsmart.

We did purchase a pair of parakeets at a pet store - one lived for about five years, the other about seven years. They were healthy while we had them but they didn't quite live their full expected lifespan.

Star and Sherman are both from breeders, my RB Rosie was from a humane society, but my kitty ChowChow was from a pet store. It was a really nice privately owned store that took really good care of their animals and didn't sell dogs & cats regularly - they were just helping out the kitty-owner. Although he did have some health problems, he did live to be almost 17!
