If I understand your question correctly, you have created model classes representing different types of pets, and you want to associate individual shops with a number of those classes.

I'm assuming your pet model definitions look something like this:

class Parrot(models.Model):
    pining_for_fjords = models.BooleanField(default=True)

You could do this using contenttypes:

from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
class Shop(models.Model):
    pet_types = models.ManyToManyField(ContentType) 

parrot_type = ContentType.objects.get(app_label="myapp", model="parrot")

// ManyToManyFields need to be added to already saved models
my_shop = Shop.objects.create()
my_shop.pet_types.add(parrot_type)
