(WJET\/WFXP<\/a>) \u2014 A local pet store is offering the chance to protect native and non-native fish.<\/p>\n

Buzz N’ B’s Aquarium and Pet Shop<\/a> is partnering with the Erie Zoo’s Last Chance Lagoon, providing a safe and ecologically responsible way to give away unwanted goldfish and koi.<\/p>\n

The pet shop will hold an intake event on Saturday, September 26 from 12 to 4 p.m. in recognition of Neighborhood Pet Store Day. The shop is located at 2500 Yoder Drive in Erie.<\/p>\n

The Last Chance Lagoon offers permanent sanctuary for unwanted goldfish and koi. The fish are quarantined and undergo a vet check to ensure their health before entering the lagoon, according to the zoo’s website. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The lagoon helps prevent ecological damage \u2014 such as overpopulation, decreased biodiversity and competition with native species \u2014 that can come from releasing non-native fish into local watersheds.<\/p>\n

As part of Neighborhood Pet Store Day, the shop will also offer exclusive deals and specials as well as local pet resources with the Companion Animal Coalition and other community partners. A Facebook post from Buzz N’ B’s describes the day as Black Friday in September, “but with a local pet store twist.”<\/p>\n
