I agree with everybody about no selling dogs or cats at Walmart or anywhere else for that matter, except for reliable breeders, because there's so many pets available at the shelters that need homes.
But I do wish Walmart and similar big box stores would do more for hosting pet adoptions from the local shelters. In my area, most of the big pet stores sponsor adopt-a-thons and the like, but their store traffic doesn't get anywhere near the traffic that Walmart does. I just think Walmart stores would be so much more effective at placing pets in homes that don't already have pets, if they hosted a pet shelter or rescue group on a monthly basis.
