Re: That's great.
Our dog was a rescue dog. Unless you're doing professional dog shows, there's no real reason to get one anyplace else.
I don't worry too much about rats and lizards in cages at pet stores. I don't think it bothers rodents all that much.
Like I said, it's been years since I saw a dog or a cat in a cage in a store, but there were a couple of stores like that when I moved out here.
