    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.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Kai came from a breeder in BC. Kaedyn was adopted from the Vancouver Animal Shelter (I volunteer there). The Malinois pup will be coming from a breeder in California.

    All of my birds except for Ozzie came from a Pet Store. Ozzie was from a breeder.

    The first two dogs when i was born i have no idea where Dad got them from. The fishies came from Meijer and Ocean Odyssey. The newts came from OO. Two of my budgies came from Meijer, one from Walmart. My Rat Terrier came from a breeder (UKC, but she was only $35.) King (GSD) was rescued from a neighbor's. I rescued Trio (orange DSH) from a farm (a day before being sent to the pound.) Jasper (black DSH) was from a rescue. Koli was rescued from the pound. Many other dogs in the past that i saved directly from the streets. Either found their owners or good homes. Almost saved a stray kitty too, but he? disappeared the night before his vet apt.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
