Re: I got a new guinea pig!

Yes, Coopdog said several times that this particular store does adoptions only - dogs, cats, small animals, and horses - and doesn't sell *any* of their animals. Personally, I do think it's wonderful that a petstore has moved to adoptions *only*. Maybe this is a 'baby step' that could ultimately lead to the whole chain going adoption only. So long as it doesn't turn into a 'we take your unwanted pets and sell them for our own profit to the same ignorant people who would have come in and bought them if we'd gotten them from a mill anyway!', and they actually follow the same application process a shelter would, I would be quite impressed.

I donno. The cynic in me says 'BS', but the optimist in me says 'maybe!'. *shrug* Maybe more letters should be written encouriging the adoption only thing - not just dogs and/or cats, but *everything*, like that one store has been doing.
