My g/f works at a petstore and they get people bringing in animals(reptiles actually being most common) every once and a while trying to sell them or jsut give them up. Sometimes they take them but generally they don't. The only time that they have had something just dropped off was a box of gerbils. Oh and one time someone brought in a dog (boxer pug cross) and told them they were gonna take it or she was just gonna get rid of it. So they took it.
