Well, unless the "animal" owned the shop then "animals shop" is correct grammatically though probably "animal shop" is what you are looking for. However, I don't think this is a very good sentence.

"animal shop" is really meaningless by itself. Perhaps it could have some meaning in a certain context but certainly there could be a better description of this shop.

Is it a shop where you purchase animals for pets? Then it would be a "pet shop".

Tell us more about this shop.

It's the shop from which I buy pets.
"pet shop" I know that before but I don't know why it didn't come to my mind .

Well, thank you so much.
