I would have to agree with SamAnthrax...I work in petcare at petsmart as well, and we actually take care of our animals. Yes, ya'll can say what you want but i'm use to the backlash on this board, so its all good. Currently at this moment we only have 3 pets in the iso room, being that ours actually DO get vegatables and fruits everyday, they DO get clean cage every couple of days, and they DO get medical attention when they are sick. Let me make this known now...not all petsmart are the same!!!

And I would have to say that not everyone, but a lot of people sounds kind of hypocritical on here. They are so for adopting rather then buying, but when it comes to pet store piggies would have medical problems, and cannot be sold, they rather leave them in the dust? I have adopted four guinea pigs from my store and they have had a range of medical problems, from head tilt, to blindness, etc. They were in no condition to be sold and needed a lot of love and attention. These guinea pigs got their love and attention from me. Being that these guinea pigs were not adopted, the breeder lost money...so whats the big deal, petstores should have more adoptions like this.

As for adoptions in petstores, I think its great. Some think its just for cooperation to make money, but come on, stop pulling the wool over your eyes. Petstores do this to help lessen the shelters, well at least petsmart does. At our store we have room for 10 cats to be adopted. Thats 10 less in the shelter, meaning 10 more can be put out to be adopted to a loving home.
