A Mishawaka toy store held its first ever Pet Adoption Day on Sunday.

Imagine That! Toy Store brought in animals from the South Bend Animal Control Center on put them on display for prospective pet owners.

The owners of store said they were inspired to hold this event by their own dog –a rescue.

"We had a dog that had been abused and poisoned and that we were fostering so that it would not be put to sleep," said," said store owner Courtney Donahue. "Marlene saw it and fell in love, and it's a little cocker spaniel. She decided that she was going to take him home so now he's the official store greeter. Every time you come in he comes running to the door after the door bell."

Imagine That! Toy Store will hold a Pet Adoption Day for the South Bend Animal Control Shelter on the second Sunday of every month.
