They are raking the bucks in and the public "sees" it as a goodwill endevor. Mo > > Our local Petco allows the local shelter to bring dogs & cats to the > store for a couple hours on Saturdays. They try to find homes for > (only) rescues & Petco does not get any money from this endevor. > > Sandy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
