Sometimes they don't even give the dogs water.
Puppy mills are factories -- cruel commercial breeding facilities that churn out puppies for profit, failing to give them even routine veterinary care. Hundreds of thousands of people unwittingly buy puppy mill dogs every year -- all while three to four million "unwanted" dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters.
Until every dog in need has a loving family, we're leading the fight against puppy mills. Please join our fight by asking your legislators to support and co-sponsor the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act, S. 395/H.R. 847.
In the past five years alone, The Humane Society of the United States has helped pass more than 35 new state laws to protect dogs in puppy mills. We've assisted law enforcement in shutting down more than 50 puppy mills, and our Animal Rescue Team has rescued nearly 10,000 dogs from these cruel mass-breeding facilities, including more than 100 from a Tylertown, Mississippi puppy mill on May 20.
Fortunately, legislation to crack down on puppy mills has been reintroduced in Congress. The PUPS Act, S. 395/H.R. 847, will close a loophole in the Animal Welfare Act regulations that currently allows puppy mills to sell dogs over the Internet without any oversight or standards of care.

I already signed it too, but just wanted to say 'Thank you' for making this thread!

I've had him for 3 months now and even though he is starting to trust me, he still runs if I walk towards him. Nobody should be able to do that to any dog

I also hope people will stop buying dogs from pet stores as puppy mills are where they get their dogs.

Thank you for posting this pic...so sad but true.
