    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. =]

    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.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    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.
    Maggie,

    I didn't slap you, I just high fived your Face!

    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.

    Thanks Barry!
