The decision aligns with the company's 'Think Adoption First' philosophy, which encourages customers to adopt rather than buy pets.
Petco announced that it will recommit to putting up rabbits for adoption-only, as opposed to selling them for purchase.The pet retailer said it made the decision following a limited pilot program that involved the sale of fewer than 50 rabbits in select locations. The company said its latest move is in conjunction with its "Think Adoption First" philosophy, where customers are urged to consider adopting a homeless pet rather than buying one.
Petco will also offer a 20% off "Start Right" discount for those who adopt a rabbit from any established rabbit rescue or adoption group through October. Also, any remaining miniature rabbits that were available for purchase at select Petco locations will be offered for adoption. Petco came under fire from the advocacy group, Rabbit.org Foundation, which wanted stores to stop all rabbit sales.
