For SCHOOLS:
At B&B Pet Stop, we want kids and young adults to develop a passion for fish and animals and we want to make it as easy as possible for teachers to keep pets in the classroom.  We have so many animals from which to choose - from exotic iguanas to gentle rabbits to peaceful and colorful tropical fish.   We've been helping teachers select appropriate pets in Mobile since 1981

l 10% discount
We invite teachers to shop at B&B Pet Stop and get a 10% discount off the total purchase.  (The discount will apply to regular-priced merchandise only.)   This is for classroom pets AND for pets at home.  (Please show some sort of school ID to our cashiers)

If a teacher buys something for the school and has a purchase order or a school credit card then it will also be NON TAX.  (By law we have to charge tax on teacher's personal purchases!)

l Free Aquarium Set-ups
We set up 10 free aquariums every year in elementary school classrooms all over Mobile.

Marineland, a manufacturer with whom we work very closely, donates the aquariums and many of the supplies.  Then we make an appointment with the teacher and come to the classroom with gravel, decorations, fish, and other surprises.

At most of the schools, the students enjoy a half-hour demonstration and instruction period followed by a lively question and answer time.  We also provide gift cards to the teachers so that they can purchase additional fish, live plants, or supplies.

l Field Trips
Most mornings, we have groups of school children come through the store.  We present a half hour educational program (geared to the younger children) that includes the opportunity  to touch many of the animals.  Every child gets a free coloring book.

Field trips are also open to day care centers, church groups, scouting groups.

l  SuperPet Super Speedway
The "SuperPet Super Speedway" is a hamster and gerbil "drag race" event designed to involve kids in a fun way to raise money for Mobile Public Schools.

Hamsters and gerbils are placed into miniature, enclosed plastic racecars, the car is then placed on a 16-foot race-track inside the store, and the first to cross the finish line wins the heat.  They are such a delight to watch as the small pets frantically race along the track - some even become confused and race backwards to the dismay of the children!  There are great prizes to all finalists!

Mobile Greyhound Adoption Center
Volunteers from Greyhound Pets of America come to B&B Pet Stop to explain the adoption process and to help potential owners fill out an application.  Once an application is approved, the new owner may pick out a dog, pay a $175 fee (covers the cost of spaying or neutering, teeth cleaning, all shots, and a heartworm test) and take his greyhound home.

Retired greyhound racers make great pets.  Good-natured and loving, these serious athletes have worked hard on their careers and are ready for a place to relax and a family to love.  These dogs are still young, since retirement comes early in the racing industry.

Quarterly Rabies Shots and Microchip Events
Low-cost rabies vaccines and micro-chipping available at convenient times at the store.

Weekly Pet Adoption - Every Thursday Afternoon from 4-7 p.m.
Customers bring in litters of puppies and kittens to five away.  Others come in to adopt new pets.  there is a $5.00 adoption fee, which goes to the Mobile Animal Shelter Spay/Neuter fund.  B&B Pet Stop Provides information packets on general puppy/kitten care, premium pet foods, flea control, house-breaking, crate-training and Maddies Fund (low cost spay/neuter program).

Pet Photo Events
(Valentine's Day, Easter Bunny, Pumpkin Patch, Santa Claus)  Benefits:   Mobile Animal Shelter

Free baths in the Pet Wash-o-Matic for Law enforcement service dogs
We invite Law Enforcement personnel to brig their service dogs in for a free bath in our automatic pet washing machine.

Free Goldfish Coupons
There are so many young people involved in so many extraordinary projects and opportunities and we are asked to sponsor these actives on a daily basis.  We wish we could say yes to all of them!  Unfortunately, if we sponsored one, we'd have to sponsor everyone. 

Instead we offer "free goldfish coupons" to schools, church groups, and sports teams to use in grab bags, favors, or as prizes at festivals.  We also try to be as generous as possible to non-profit organizations supporting the arts, the schools, animal rescue, historic preservation and other organizations that make Mobile a wonderful place to live for everyone.  We give away approximately 10,000 coupons every year!
