My family has been coming to Whitie's my whole life. And now I am bringing my own childern in to do the same thing, to share the same experiences with them. Sometimes to shop, and other times just to look at the animals. My childern get excited as soon as they recognize that we are in the area of Whitie's, and very rarely can we drive by with out having to stop in. That's just one of the things about this store that warms my heart so much. IT'S WELCOMING. It feels comfortable in there. My childern can run around and look at the animals and I don't feel like my family is intruding. We haven't been so lucky in other chain pet stores like Petsmart. Whitie's is owned and operated by family, Such a cool thing about that is that as a customer, i know the faces of the Shafer family. I've seen generation after generation of Shafers in the store, and now there is even little Shafers running around the place. That's probably why my family feel so at home there. It's a family oriented enviroment. But on the more business side of things, I've noticed a lot of improvment around the store over the last few years. I love that they adopt dogs and cats out for the SPCA. And they do this on a daily bases, not just on select days of the week or month (which i belive other pet stores do). I feel that shows a full comiment and dedications to the cause of finding homes for these pets, not just a part time one. I wouldnt shop in any other store.
