One day when we get around to fencing in our property I hope to have a dog. We will adopt from a shelter, there are so many cats and dogs who need a loving family. Please help end puppy mills.
Here are some things you can do right now:
- If you are thinking of bringing a new dog into the family, or know someone who is, request a free copy of the Humane Societies' puppy buyer's guide for information on how to find reputable breeders, shelters, and rescue groups.
- Ask your federal legislators to crack down on puppy mills.
- Get the word out about puppy mills: write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.
- Visit StopPuppyMills.org to educate yourself.
- Download one of the Humane Societies' Stop Puppy Mills campaign badges or banners to your own MySpace or Facebook page, blog, or website.
- Did you adopt your canine companion from a rescue group or shelter? Then order the Humane Societies' Proud to Adopt care package.
- Download Puppy Mill Cruelty flyer's and post them or give them out at your neighborhood dog park, to engage fellow dog owners and help spread the word.
- Help place advertisements and billboards to spread the word about puppy mill cruelty.

Oh, it didn't connect before today that you lost Whiskers to that horrible pet food recall last year. We are so sorry. That had to be so painful!
Thank you, JFF. It is still very painful as he was in perfect health one day and then so sick the next. Making the choice to put him to sleep broke my heart. I still miss him and think of him often.
