Rather than buying from pet stores that sometimes encourage puppy mills I think it would be better to go to your local humane society and rescue a pet that may be euthanized (SP) if not adopted. There are some pet stores that rather then sell puppies and cats they have area rescue people come in with animals that can be purchased. Pet Co is one in my area that offers that service. You can also look in your local paper for people selling. But I personally think it is better to try to save an animal.

Why is it good to adopt pets?

Adopting pets is good because it helps give animals in shelters a second chance at a loving home. By adopting, you are also reducing the demand for breeding and helping to combat issues like overpopulation and animal homelessness. Plus, pets can bring immense joy, companionship, and health benefits to their owners.

What age can a child buy a pet without a parent present?

Private Pets: Generally speaking, Anyone can buy a pet, or receive a pet, from any private person. In other words, if the person in regards has a pet that in turn gives birth to other pets and then this person decides to get rid of these new pets by selling them, then there really is no age limit. Of course if the person is any bit responsible they won't give a new born puppy away to a 7 year old, but might to a 14 year old that is willing to take care of it, and probably after the person has interviewed them. Store Pets: If the pet in question is located in a store or a public business, chances are they will have their own sets of rules regarding this and more likely than not, require a signature and some form of ID (which you will probably need to be at least 18 to obtain) before you can purchase it. If the pet is from an animal shelter, they're going to have to perform a CORY form, or other similar background check/criminal record check application so that they can be sure that you are not about to do something sick or crazy to the pet you are adopting. The same MAY apply to some pet stores (The ones that really care about their pets that is). Other than that, there isn't a federal age limit set or anything, so as long as the person wanting to buy the animal is respectful and is kind, they should have no problem getting this pet.

Where do you buy chipmunks?

It is not legal or ethical to buy chipmunks as pets in most places. Chipmunks are usually wild animals and it's important to respect their natural habitat and not disrupt their ecosystem by capturing them as pets. If you're interested in having a small rodent as a pet, consider adopting a domesticated species like a hamster or a guinea pig from a reputable rescue organization or pet store.
