We recently wrote a story concerning outrage from folks on social media in response to photos and videos a woman posted from her visit to Pets R Us, a local pet store that sells animals. Thousands of people read our story and more news outlets covered the concern, so there’s definite interest in this store and people […]
Pets R Us and Tully’s Kennels are one of two things to Omahans. They’re either just another place to buy an animal OR a place to cite in the education of others on humane treatment of animals.
