Puppy mills are massive breeding operations which force dogs to produce litter after litter just for profit. These dogs and their puppies are often plagued with suffering, resulting from disease, malnutrition, and loneliness.

Many puppies sold in pet stores and on the internet come from puppy mills. The problem is that most people dont know that when they buy a puppy from these venues, they are often supporting a cruel and inhumane industry. But you can help.

Here what you can do:

1 - Sign the petition. By choosing not to buy your next pet or any pet supplies from retail stores or Internet sites that sell live dogs or cats, you are actively helping break the cycle of cruelty created by puppy mills.

2 - Educate yourself. There are hundreds of thousands of homeless dogs and cats in local shelters that need homes. There are also many respectable breeders out there. If you are in the market for a new pet, check out the Humane Society Puppy Buyers Guide for tips.

3 - Spread the word. Download web banners and badges and post them to your social networking profile, blog, or website. You can also post undercover video on dog auctions. These are easy ways to expose the reality of puppy mills to your friends and family.

Thank you for you help

I have worked in animal shelters and all my dogs are rescued. If only more people would adopt from shelters we would save so many dogs lives. Besides, Shelter dogs (mixed or not) are some of the most loving creatures.

I only adopt rescue animals and it is sad that there are so many of them out there due to puppy mills. Pet shops should not be allowed to sell animals as they are jsut adding to the puppy mill problem and there are too many animals that need homes that are in shelters and in foster homes already!

You have that right. Just found that some people down the street are doing the same thing. I am getting ready to show them what a night mare is made of. This is why most of them end up in shelters and or abused. Can't you find another job? Help our shelters, theres a lot of work.

I purchased a puppy from a place called puppy lovers, which I beleive gets its puppies from a puppy mill. Unfortunately at the time I did not even think about this. Rodney was the most fun loving, charismatic dog, and my family, reluctantly fell head over heels in love with him. We had to put him to sleep when he was only 6 and our vet regrettfully informed us that it seemed like he had a disease that probably his parents had as well, which caused him to go blind, then deaf, the pretty much froze his hip sockets making it painful for him to walk. Puppy Mills, need to be stoped to avoid this type of misinformation. I love that dog very much and I know that had we had the information about his family history, we could have taken steps to prevent his sickness and death.
