Ability to adopt or create pets and run a pet store or shelter

Question

Similar to what we had in the Sims Unleashed <3

I want the experience of going to a store, shelter or even a breeder to adopt / create a pet. I hate that I have to go into manage worlds in order to create a new dog or cat for my existing family.
It would also be amazing to have the ability to run a pet shelter. Similar to the vet clinic but finding good home for stray pets maybe even going as far as rescuing them from dangerous situations??
I dunno, maybe it's too extra, but I think it'd be a fun experience!

I'd like a pet store too, or at least the ability to buy pets through the phone (currently you can adopt through the phone though so at least you don't have to go into CAS for that, it's how I adopted my pet Paula xD)

I agree, I really want to be able to run a animal shelter and adopt out animals! I think it would be a lot of fun, Maybe add it in with the get to work pack? Like you have to own the cats and dogs pack and the get to work pack and then you can run an animal shelter? Or something like that, Where you can expand and hire in help as well! I've been searching for a way to be able to do that but can't find anything like what I want, I hope they add this in! &lt;3

Can you edit the Shelter household and move a pet to the Adopting household?If you create a lot with a sim who runs a shelter, you could give the lot the traits that make animals hangout there and then your sim could visit and adopt a pet (stray) as if it were a shelter pet.Yeah this is true but I feel like it's not quite the experience I'm looking for. That is totally a good idea though, worth a try for now anyway!

I feel this is too reaching for them, seeing as how you can't even sell the rodents in retail stores due to how the store mechanics function, how can they be able to sell cats and dogs in them? The shelter thing could be doable, but maybe it might be a new venue type which once again would be too much of a bother for them to do but still, perfectly doable.

Also, someone mentioned this idea could be made for a DLC that not only needs one but TWO other DLCs? Please no. Don't give EA/Maxis more terrible marketing ideas.
