I have taken Abby into pet stores, the bank, the post office, and even Kroger(my friend's mom is a manager and LOVES Abby
)
When you say "mall" do you mean they are allowed in the stores? or just the open part? We only have one mall that allows pets to come in a certain door into the petstore that's right next to it. I've never seen pets anywhere else in a mall, but I would love to be able to take Abby with me.
