Probably turn it over to the local ASPCA or animal shelter. If the animal is healthy, they will do their best to find it a home. Otherwise, it is usually euthanized-unless the shelter is close to a veterinary school, where many students and teachers will volunteer to help for the experience, and because they love animals-why else would they choose that career?

Personally, I don’t like the idea of pet shops. If the animal isn’t a purebreed, there are probably already too many of them. Better to get one from a privately-run animal shelter. There, you get one that is already neutered, has had it’s first shots, and, in general, has a clean bill of health. (f it does have a medical condition, that can be treated or cured, they must tell you about it-not so with pet shops!).

If you are looking for a certain breed, it’s better to go to a breeder. Not only is it usually cheaper, but each breeder, having a reputation to uphold, will definitely tell you if the animal you want has a health issue. Breeders advertise in local newspapers, and in magazines dedicated to the breed they specialize in.

Most are jusk kept there until they are sold. Some are kept as “store mascots” which are animals the store keeps for the rest of thier lives or are taken home by store employees.

i dont know about puppies and kittens but i heard that dogs and cats, they put them to sleep which i am totally against they shouldntdo that just because no body wants them

i don’t think they do anything.
they would just keep on selling him cheapr til he is free i guess!

if an animal doesnt sell they put it down…its really sickening and depressing.

What do you think????? If they don’t sell, they cost more and more in upkeep and vaccines and possible vet care. So, if after the “sale” they still don’t sell……………………………..
