Chapter 1025: New Pets

"What? The stray pet center can't open anymore?" Looking at Dominica Ceci, Jiang Hai smiled, then squeezed into the crowd, and said to her with a smile, but only one came back. Her eyes rolled.

"If your manor can't be opened, I won't be able to open it here. My place is the only stray pet center in Winthrop, and it is supported by the federal government." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dominica Se Xi couldn't help but proudly raised his head and said to Jiang Hai.

"Haha, then why did you give away pets on the street?" After listening to Dominika's words, Jiang Hai squatted down and looked at the pets she had prepared. He had to admit that there were many of them and there were many types. Quite a few.

Jiang Hai glanced over and saw that in addition to the known cats and dogs, there were also hamsters, parrots, some other birds, and even more expensive species such as chinchillas. Of course, there were many dogs, which were originally It was very expensive, which made Jiang Hai sigh. These people were really generous. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dominica also squatted down.

"After all, the pet center has limited space. There are some old, disabled, and mentally ill pets, and we will provide them with care. However, there are some pets that are in good health, in their prime, or young, and may just Because they were abandoned, or the owner died or moved, we encourage people to adopt some every year, which not only reduces our burden, but also makes everyone like these little animals more." After Dominica Sethi finished speaking , he picked up a Labrador who looked young, held it in his arms and rubbed its little head. The dog was also very close to people and kept wanting to lick her.

"Are there any requirements for adoption?" Looking at these dogs, they were really cute, so some tourists who were watching couldn't help but ask.

You must know that many of these tourists come with the elderly and children to play.

These two types of people have extremely low resistance to cute things like puppies and kittens, and the most important thing is that it is free to adopt here. In China, a purebred Labrador, at least It costs thousands of dollars to sell. Although everyone who comes here to play is short of this amount of money, who would refuse a free lunch?

"Tourists are not allowed to adopt. Only local people with stable income can adopt. I'm sorry." But unfortunately, Dominica Sethi directly rejected the idea of ​​these tourists. They are not dog dealers. After selling, , no one cares about the dog.

They are from a stray pet center. After these pets are sent out, they will visit their homes regularly to find out what their living environment is like at home, whether they are loved, whether they are abused, etc.

It's actually not right to say that they are dog fans. They should be pet fans and can't stand those things.

"Oh." Hearing Dominica Ceci's words, many tourists whispered. It seemed that these pets could not be taken back, while the locals were just watching and thinking.

To be honest, there are many local people who don’t like to raise these things, because Winthrop was very poor in the past and they had no money to buy dog ​​food and meat for these cats and dogs. Canned food and the like make it difficult for them to feed themselves.

Although dog food and canned food are very cheap in the United States, they still cost US dollars.

Yes, there is a common sense in the United States that when feeding pets, you have to buy canned food. It is really a luxury.

A one kilogram can of minced meat costs US$1 in the supermarket. An adult dog will eat two boxes a day, which is US$60 per month for cans. This does not include the cost of dog food supplements. , for the Winthrop people in the past, it may really be a bit of a burden, but now the Winthrop people have some money, and it is not a problem for them to raise a dog or something, but they still have to consider it. Because to a certain extent, this can be regarded as an additional import.

Jiang Hai ignored these people at this time. He was still looking there. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help but look at Dominica Sethi: "Why isn't there that bear? I also want to raise a bear. Playing."

"Don't even think about it. That bear has hurt people before. It can only spend the rest of its life in a pet center. It is not allowed in zoos. And the most important thing is that it is a protected animal and has entered the Washington Convention." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dominika Sisi rolled her eyes at him, and then said with a serious face that she would not break the law to help Jiang Hai get wild animals.

"Tsk tsk, don't talk about that useless thing. If animals are not allowed to be adopted, what's going on with that turtle you have there?" After Jiang Hai heard her words, he couldn't help but smile, and then pointed to the turtle underneath. A cage.

The cage was very big, about two meters long and two meters wide. It was placed at the bottom. There was a huge turtle inside the cage. The turtle looked about one meter long. It was very calm at this time. He was lying there playing with the sand.

"Oh, tell me about it. If you want to adopt it, this one is also available." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dominica Sisi also looked at the big turtle, and couldn't help but have a smile on her face. smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you think I don't know? Tortoises are protected animals, especially such a big one." Hearing her words, Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows, and then said seriously, but only changed it back Dominica's contempt.

"You really don't know. Indeed, most tortoises are protected species, but there are also non-protected species. Tortoises are divided into small tortoises and large tortoises. Among them, there are four types of large tortoises and seven small tortoises. species, and one has become extinct. Among them, the small yellow-legged tortoise, the Indian star tortoise and the Burmese star tortoise can be artificially bred and are legal pets. Among the large tortoises, the Angolo Cardiff tortoises, sulcata tortoises and the largest Galapagos tortoise are all protected and private breeding is not allowed, but this little guy is an Aldabra giant tortoise, a second-level protected animal, not Animal protection can be entered through normal business transactions with tax payment." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Dominica Sisi also introduced her to Jiang Hai eloquently, but to be honest, after listening to her talk for a long time, Jiang Hai almost didn't understand what she was saying, but he just knew that the tortoise seemed to be adoptable and it was not illegal. This statement made him have some thoughts.

"Then what do these things eat?" Jiang Hai asked with some doubts as he looked at this rather small turtle.

"It eats everything, vegetables, fruits, grass, meat, fish, whatever you have." She shrugged. For Dominica Sethi, besides taking up space, this thing is quite easy to take care of. of.

"Then can I adopt it?" Jiang Hai's eyes lit up when he heard her words. It seemed to him that raising a turtle would be a good idea.

"Of course you can, you can be the richest man here." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dominica Sisi smiled, and then said to Jiang Hai, the next thing will be much easier to handle, Jiang Hai filled in After making a form, under the envious eyes of everyone, they called Edward Anderson and others who came to watch the fun, and moved the big guy into an F750 they drove over. Then Jiang Hai stopped shopping. After giving his car key to Azarina and asking her to drive it back in the evening, he drove the F750 back to the manor. Once inside the manor, Jiang Hai's huge power was revealed. He was alone. I moved this guy down, then opened the iron cage and let this guy in.

This Aldabra giant tortoise is basically almost an adult, but that’s just because the average lifespan of this kind of tortoise can reach 200 years. According to Dominica Sethi, This turtle is twenty years old this year, and its human lifespan is about ten years. Its original owners were an old couple in Boston. The turtle took the old man and the old lady away, and the children didn't want to raise them, so they sent them to Boston. The stray pet center, and then the ones in Boston were sent here.

However, although it is not yet an adult, it has lived for twenty years after all and has some wisdom. It knows that the grass outside is very good, so it slowly crawled out and began to eat grass in front of Jiang Hai. , took a few bites, then raised its head and looked at Jiang Hai with a curious expression. It may not have the term "master" in its mind, but it knew that it was going to live with Jiang Hai.

"From today on, this is your home. I don't need to keep you in a cage. Now I will take you to see the location of my home." Jiang Hai looked at this guy, slowly stretched out his hand, and sent him a Aura, then he hugged this huge turtle and began to walk around his home. I don't know if it was due to the aura or because this turtle was really smart. It did not shrink into its shell, but followed Jiang Hai. , it has been watching where is home and where can be played.

After turning around, including Jiang Hai on the other side of the forest, he put it down.

Looking at its reaction, it is obvious that it is more interested in the pastures and areas around the freshwater river. This kind of turtle usually lives in the forest, but now there are three giant beasts in the forest. You must know that this turtle It was adopted. Dominica and the others will definitely come over to see it. If they see those three by then, it will be difficult to handle.

So Jiang Hai could only keep it in the house. Fortunately, it was also very interested in the camphor trees planted by Jiang Hai.

"You will be a member of the family from now on, but what is your name?" Looking at the big turtle that started to eat grass again after putting it down, Jiang Hai touched his chin and began to study. The soul of his naming came again. Ready to move! (To be continued.)
