Pet Store Secretly Replaces All Its Animals With Rescues. Watch What Happens…

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 135

Animal shelters in Brazil are underfunded and overcrowded, and many families automatically bypass shelter pets — choosing to purchase a pricey puppy rather than adopt a free rescue.

One Brazilian rescue organization set out to change this: Quatro Patinhas, or “Four Paws,” secretly stocked a pet shop with rescue animals.

Then they set up hidden cameras to catch families' reactions when they found out that the sweet puppies and kittens were actually shelter pets… and that it cost nothing to adopt them.

The families in the video learn a priceless lesson when they realize that shelter pets are just as special and deserving of love as any other animals.

    But the video is in Brazil. I am not sure where you are from. Also I am a little upset that they only used puppies and kittens. I feel like those are always first gone in a shelter. Would have been nice to see some adults in the video. Also I grew with the price problem and shelters especially specific breed shelters like to have the price very high! I was looking at this French Bulldog she was already ten and they were asking $1,000 for her.

    I don’t agree with giving shelter pets away for free. Especially puppies and kittens. They’re cute and people adore them so of course they will take them if they cost nothing but what happens when they’re not “cute” anymore? Shelters in Australia charge for pets but they use that money to provide good shelter, food and health care of the animals until its adopted. Look at the life of shelter pets in Brazil because they have no money to take care of them.
    Most pet stores in Australia who sell pets have shelter pets. They’re not free. Shelter pricing will vary but they all have set pricing for kittens and puppies and adult cats and dogs no matter what breed. Some places will give senior cats for free.
