Wow, you're great at resisting yourself! If that were a dog, I would have totally caved and said I'll take it! LOL

Glad it's working out!!
It just boggles my mind that someone would call a pet store about surrendering a pet.
But I guess it really shouldn't surprise me. *sigh*

I'm surprised they don't have the Humane Society and rescue group's phone numbers by the phone for just such incidences. Just a task for the new kid to do I guess!
All things serve the Beam
I own a boarding kennel and a grooming shop. I get phone calls like that ALL the time ... Will you take my dog/cat/rabbit/ferret/etc.? Can you give my dog/cat shots? Do you have any kittens/puppies/bunnies for sale? Do you have a male poodle/pom/chihuahua to breed with my female cocker/shihtzu/pug? It never ends.
I have a sign above the phone that says, "Caller ID? I'm waiting for Caller IQ."

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Donna, I am so glad you like your job!To bad people like that lady had to call to your store!!
Crazy husky lady
I work at Petco too. I get calls like that all the time (I usually refer them to www.utahpets.org for a list of rescue groups) as well as people wanting to buy puppies/kittens, wanting vet care, etc. We do have a phone number list of rescue groups, humane societies, shelters, etc. but most of the time I'm very busy (I'm a groomer) so I don't have time to give them all of those numbers, and it is easy to find at the website anyway. The best is when they call here wanting a grooming appointment and we are booked so they ask me to give them the numbers of other groomers to call. Um, if they looked up our number, I think they can manage to look up the rest of them!
