Also PLEASE follow legislation on puppymills! There is a bill currently in the Senate called “PAWS” and a lot of controversy concerning it. Read it, get to understand it and decide whether it is a good or bad piece of legislation. The best way to help puppymill dogs is to shape the law into something that is workable but also protects the interest and welfare of dogs. By contacting your local representatives, you can put pressure on government to see that such laws are introduced and voted on. To find out who you are local representatives are visit this link:

You can also find voting records so you can find out who is supporting “puppymill legislation and who isn’t.” go to the website of these officials and look at their press releases too!

Education is the best armament in any battle!
