I have helped with many adoptions at the Mall here also, people don 't go in the Mall to buy the supplies. To my knowledge there isn't any adoption booklet given when I have helped, nor are all the stores as active as the one you use. Sure don't have a problem with them making a buck either...........Mo You may want to suggest to the groups you assist to check out Petco next time, if you have one close to you. If nothing else, they will gain another venue for adoptions. I don't recall Petsmart given booklets, or coupons or discounts, but Petco does, and at least around here, they go out of their way to help the rescue groups. We do prefer to work with Petco than Petsmart or Concord Pet. Petland doesn't support adoption clinics, at this time, like for the last 3 years <G> The only pet stores I've ever seen at a mall cater to very high end clients, with exorbitant charges for their pet supplies, dog cookies at $20 per pound, $175 for Coach collars, etc. My dogs usually chew or break their collars, that's why they never wear collars at home anymore. ......I don't think I have spent $175 in all my collars ever.....LOL...
