• PetSmart mentioned our Rescue start rescuing small animals such as hamsters and guinea pigs and bunnies and they would then have them inhouse for adoption because only then they can do so, but they must be through a Rescue. We took this into great consideration, as a board we have voted against adding smaller animals to Rescue at this time for varies reason.
