Stop Animal abuse in Puppy Mills

A petition fighting against Puppy mills.

Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without adequate veterinary care, food, water and socialization. Puppy mill dogs do not receive treats, toys, exercise or basic grooming. To minimize waste cleanup, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs.

It is not unusual for cages to be stacked up in columns. Breeder dogs at mills might spend their entire lives outdoors, exposed to the elements, or kept inside indoor cages all their lives. Often after the breeder dog has hit the age of 4 years old, it is no longer needed and killed. Sometimes the puppy mill owners will have a contact person who collaborates with rescues.

The rescue will receive a phone call with the number of breeder dogs and types. The rescue then can save the breeder dogs from death. Once adopted, it can take up to or over a year for the dog to relax and allow human touch.
