In Michigan a local PetSmart had what many would consider to be a rather unusual pet visitor recently. Scott Lewis who runs a petting zoo took his camel, Jeffrey into the store. Jeffrey, who is 11 years old went on the trip as an outing to get him accustomed to traveling in the trailer that the Lewis Farms and Petting Zoo uses for transporting their animals. Scott was working to train Jeffrey, as he will be visiting a facility for some health checkups in the coming days. Jeffrey, who is said to be a very social people lover, visited a variety of local places in addition to the Petsmart store in Muskegon. All of Jeffrey’s traveling was documented by Scott on the zoo’s Facebook page. The Lewises did make sure to contact the pet store to ask permission before bringing Jeffrey the camel in for a visit, as the PetSmart website states it welcomes leashed pets of the domestic variety that does not usually include camels.
The adventure was a welcomed treat for all those who got to watch Jeffrey parade through the store, as customers and employees alike enjoyed the opportunity to meet him.
The Lewis Farm And Petting Zoo is a seasonal family farm located in Mew Era, Michigan. The Farm and Petting Zoo is opened from the beginning of May to October. They have more than 75 animals, with some being of the more exotic type. The Farm also have a Market, which customers can purchase a variety of farm grown and made goodies. Jeffrey is just one of many animals who children and adults alike can visit and pet while enjoying a beautiful afternoon on the farm. There are numerous activities that vary day to day, all of which many say make for an enjoyable outing.
