Why are there never any pets in the Pet Shelter?
The only pets in the Pet Shelter are those put in by other residents. So if no pets have been abandoned two weeks ago, none will appear in the Pet Shelter today. Besides that, having lots of pets is popular among the residents so competition for new pets is keen. Just keep checking the Pet Shelter from time to time.
Is there any other way to get a new pet?
Yes, there is.
