Local pet stores help find homes for shelter’s animals
MITCH CASEY The Marietta Times
Adam Johnson, assistant manager of We Lov Pets, Lafayette Center, looks over a few of the cats on display from the local humane society shelter Friday. The cats are sold at the normal adoption rate the shelter charges and We Lov Pets gives all the proceeds back to the shelter. So far, 18 cats have been adopted since the beginning of the year.
In addition to selling their own animals, two local pet stores are encouraging patrons to adopt cats and dogs from the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.
We Lov Pets offers cats from the humane society for adoption, while Petland posts a bulletin board with pictures of puppies located at the society’s shelter.
“Since we’ve opened we’ve done this,” said Adam Johnson, an assistant manager at We Lov Pets. “Since the beginning of this year we’ve had 18 cats adopted through the humane society.”
Johnson explained that his store takes cats which the humane society does not have room for and displays them in a cage at the store. The number the store has varies.
“Sometimes there are four or five. Last time we got cats in there was nine, and the humane society was full, so we just brought them here for them,” Johnson said.
