I do not know. PetsMart is almost an hour away and I do not go often. Sometimes they have "rescue" groups in with puppies. I find this rather disgusting to tell the truth.

The last time I was disgusted as they had four week old puppies that they were handing off to people and letting them walk around the store with them and set them on the floor. I figure the rescue was just a byb in disguise. I told them that they needed to be more careful with the puppies as they could get something. And she informed me that they had their shots. I asked how did she know they were working yet (the pups were young and might have still been other their mother's immunity, meaning the shots would not have worked). She said because she gave them to them herself. Weeeelll ok then. Ya just can't argue with that.

People can charge exorbitant fees for what they are selling in the name of rescue and call it all adoption. For some it is a racket.
