still on the fence from few years ago. Did not have a good experience when I had my little yorkie, don’t want to get into details. However, couple week ago i took our little Maltese and almost left paying for some things that they did not do. They realized it was their fault, I did not make a big deal, but still not confident they have changed for the good.

Do they sell kittens? :)
They have adoption events on certain weekends. They usually post about them online. You can always contact the local store and see what's happening.
Community answer · Pamela Daniels · 2020-09-21
I do not think they do. But I could be wrong!
Community answer · Jacob Emmert · 2020-09-21
Are there events for dog adoptions and if so are there average prices?
They do but it is usually run by one of the shelters around the area SPCA, KAR, HUMAN SOCIETY, KAP. Their products are on the expensive side.
Community answer · David Nottingham (furrydavidscottn) · 2020-09-21
I do know they do have events to adopt. I have no idea about prices. But with ours we had to pay for a chip and have her fixed. Maybe 90$ but that's a guess
Community answer · Kevin Garrison · 2020-09-21
