Working at Petstore

I think its a good idea. Go for it

Thanks for the support. I was really afraid, that when I posted this I was going to get totally stomped on!

I would love to work at my nearest pet store to change stuff. They keep rabbits and pigs together and sell lots of crap stuff, such as cedar bedding and wheels. I have to wait another year yet though since I'm not old enough. As soon as I am, I'm applying for a job.

I am also but I think in the future sometimes! lol

me too, i've grown up always wanting to work at petco, but after i came here, i discovered that petco is a horrible place. so now when i get older, i want to start my own petshop, where the animals will be well cared for, but it's more difficult though.

if you start a petshop you shouldn't sell animals at all.

Thats what I want to do. I want a pet supply store that has animals up for adoption from local rescues.That would be so awesome dont you think?

Yeah that is a really great idea! I wish I lived out there in sunny CA we could be bussiness partners! lol

That would be a lot of fun! Too bad, maybe one of us could move? Just joking.

lol! well good luck on that maybe you'll post here in 15 years saying you were sucessful!

I just applied at my local pet store. The way I see it, they are paying me to educate the public, not to sell crappy items at the store.

I ahve thought about working at a pet store. I would rather work at a local shelter than working at a pet store. I might find out if humane society needs people. Not in volenter(sp) because I work 5 days a week at subway and doing both would be too much for me. I might call them tomorrow when I get home from work to see if they do. I just love animals so much that I would love to work with them and help too.

Well I do love volunteering, I've volunteered for several places.. well only one the Dog's Den, but in January I'm taking a class at the humane society so I can volunteer there also. I wish there was a guinea pig rescue closer to my home or I would volunteer there as well but I can't travel very far because my mom doesn't drive. On the subject of working at a petstore I was just thinking out loud, I really would like to have a job working with animals or either little little kids.

If someone runs a successful adoption chain, one that is responsible and reputable, I'll definitely be going there. Go for it!

i was also thinking of working at Petsmart when i get older casue i am too young now. But now i am thinking that i will starte my own pet store when i get older that cares for animals and educates people about them.

I was thinking of volunteering at a pet rescue while now but i can't find anywhere in RI that will let a 13 year old volunteer without a parent with me becaseu my parents work full time. Anyone know of anywhere that would let me volunteer?

i like the idea of having a petstore, that has animals from the shelters for adoption. but what about other animals like hamsters and fish?

I like those too i would have any pet.

Lots of times they are up for adoption too. Mybe not fish, but other small animals.
