Stop Puppy Mills

You can help to stop puppy mills. You can stop puppy mills by not giving them any money due to buying a puppy.

Many people want a dog that is a small dog that is mixed. For example, people want a dog that is part Shih Tzu and part poodle. Other popular mixes include Poodle and Bichon. Teacup dogs are popular as well and people know this and want to make money. Medium sized dogs and large dogs are popular for dog breeders as well. Some folks want to make money and do not care at all about the dogs.

Puppy mills will have crates and crates of dogs cramped on top of each other. They will have too many puppies and dogs inside of the crate. Puppy mills sell diseased dogs and you will lose your money due to having to take your puppy/dog to the vet or worse your puppy/dog will die. It is not worth having a puppy you love and get attached to--only to die.

Instead of going to a puppy mill check your local animal shelter. There are loads of mutts as well as expensive pure breeds. If you go to the animal shelter and the dog you want is not there, keep checking back. Some shelters may let you get on a list and they will call you when the desired dog is available. You are sure to find the dog you want.

Stop people from being greedy and making money on puppies. Get your dog from a shelter or a reputable breeder.

Animal Shelters Need your Hand



How often do you see a stray dog or cat along the streets? When was the last time you visited a animal shelter? That is where those strays, when found, call home, sometimes until they are adopted, and others, well are not always that lucky. It can be hard visiting an animal shelter, especially those that euthanize animals if a home is not secured in a certain amount of time. You can feel helpless, but you are not. Even though you may not be able to adopt every animal that enters into the shelters door, you can make a difference.

The best thing you can offer your local animal shelter is your time. You can volunteer to play with the cats or dogs, walk the dogs so they get exercise and time out of their kennel, send out invites for fundraisers, help clean, and help raise awareness. It is a great activity to get your children involved with. It teaches them the importance of proper care of pets and the responsibilities that go with them.

If you do not have enough time to volunteer in person, you can always help spread the needs of your local animal shelter. If you have a website, blog, or are on any social media network, you can encourage people to lend a helping hand either financially or in person through volunteering. If you have a business, you can always help by posting bulletins for public view of your support encouraging others to support as well.

Another effective way of helping helpless dogs and cats if by contacting your local officials to campaign for shelters and animal rights.

If you cannot donate your time, donate items such as old blankets and towels. The shelters are always in need of these items. Even old tennis balls can be useful giving a kenneled dog a chance to get out, run, and play. Check with your local shelter on what items they accept for donations. Some even accept pet food donations. Money is always welcomes.

Another thing your entire family can get involved with that will help your local animal shelter is to organize fundraisers. It can be something as a simple cupcake sale that you do where the proceeds are distributed to the animal shelter. There is nothing better other than providing an abandoned animal a home, and then there is in supporting the home that cares for them until they can have a home of their own.
