Shop And Adopt?

Now here's an idea that could revolutionize animal shelters.
Furburbia is putting adoptable pets where people are-at the mall. The first of it's kind in the United States, the Furburbia adoption center in Salt Lake City's Cottonwood mall looks like a pet store. It sells pet supplies but it operates like a shelter. Adoption fees ($85-$95) cover vaccinations and spaying and neutering. And include a collar and leash for dogs or a plastic carrier for cats. Proceeds help homeless pets in Utah. Furburbia will also help you start an adoption center in your local mall. 435-644-2001,ext.254 Checkout their website www.furburbia.com their E-mail adress is nmhp@bestfriends.org
Wow now that sure beats the heck out of the puppymill supporting pet stores! I think it's a great idea! So what do you guys think?

 

Sounds good to me. Do they do any screening process with the owners first? That would be my only concern.

My friend got a dog from a pet store (i know I know) but she couldn't believe how easy it was. Its like buying a pack of gum.
"I'd like that one please" and there you go brand new puppy.

I like that they are getting more creative with adopting. I know a lot of people get depressed going into an actual shelter, so that may deter many potential adopters.

 

Yes they operate just like a shelter so there's not any impulse buying.

 

Thats the first I ever heard of this. Sounds like a good idea. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm that way.
