Actually, you might be surprised. Two major, US-nationwide pet stores, Petco and Petsmart, don't sell dogs or cats. What they both do is sponsor shelter in-store events for adoptions. Our cat Max came from one of these. We actually have some very responsible corporate citizens out there. They both seem to realize that there's a MUCH higher profit margin in selling leashes, bowls, squeaky toys and sweaters than there is in keeping and dealing in animals of questionable health from questionable breeders.
