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.

Tigger (Schneiders Skink) is from a pet store. They weren't really breeding in captivity much when I got her in '95
Oslo (rabbit) is from a show rabbitry. (My 4-H leader's mom co-owns it)
Niño is from the Anti Cruelty Society. (SPCA Chicago)
My Nuria (calf) was from a family farm an hour away but I sold her back to him.

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.
