Some pet stores do this as well. The one by my place has rescue animals for adoption from the SPCA. In fact, that is all they have as far as cats and dogs go.

Back in Prince George, my wife and I used to volunteer to walk dogs and for "cat enrichment". It is a fun way to spend the occasional Saturday afternoon.... a cheap date if you will.
