Three ways to help
Adopting a puppy instead of buying one is the best way to strike a blow against puppy mills. Visit local shelters like SPCA, ASD, where dozens of dogs are just waiting for homes. Not only you will be saving a life, you will not be putting money into those breeders’ pockets.
2. Spread the word
If a friend or family member is planning on buying a puppy, advise them not to buy from a pet store. Let them know there are perfectly healthy dogs at shelters waiting to be adopted.
3. Make a stand
Choose not to buy your next pet from a pet store or Internet site. Refuse to buy pets or supplies from any pet store that sells puppies. Never buy a puppy with the idea that you are “rescuing” him or her from the shop. While your intentions may be good, your “rescue” money goes back into making more space for more dogs to breed.
