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.

    Of people have to pay for anything they tend to value it more and take better care of it. This I feel is leaving it wide open to the dog fighting guys who are looking for bait dogs. Just saying.

    Free….but please check to make sure..they are good homes! That they will be able to afford care…and know they are family..not to be left. Outside…I worry if they don’t pay make a commitment..they may not see the seriousness of adding a family member..I hope they do checking!! Then it’s a wonderful idea! Instead of pulls mills!!

    Free is not good for the animals — people don’t respect things (animals) that don’t cost as they then think of them as having no value a cost for spaying and neutering would help the dogs and cover the cost

    Wrong, wrong,wrong, if people want a dog they should go to a rescue centre, giving them away free how do you know if the people taking them can afford to keep them, this is going back to the pet shop days in the 60,s, I don’t agree with it unless they are doing all the proper checks on people.

    Breeders should be shut down for a while until the shelter dogs and cats are adopted. I know it sounds bad and the breeders loose money but animals are not supposed to be bred all the time. either way its a shame that this world has come to so many horrible things like this.

    Rescue dogs are not given away free. Stringent home and vet checks are also carried out. A reputable rescue always charges an adoption fee. This is to cover any vaccination neutering, vet fees etc and to ensure that the people adopting them are genuine.

    seeing this is so great. When I see dog for sale at pet store, It amazes me what people what people will pay for pure-breed dogs anymore. Plus those dogs could have came from a puppy mill. The two dogs I own one is a terrier mix and the other is a mini dachshund both where adopt from shelters and both are great dogs.

    But people need to know that rescues cost money too. I wanted to get me a new puppy from the shelter .It was two poodles age 3 years old. They were brother and sister but they told me they were $500 each. That’s a lot for a rescue. I’m no stranger to having two poodles at the same time. I had two brothers both passed on now at ages 14 and 15. So I know the cost, even one had diabetes which cost but they were my babies since I have no kids. They should lower the cost to rescue dogs and a lot would get taken. I’m still looking for them to go down. I want them both. I’m bored.
