I guess while I was living away from here- they had dog auctions in Jacksonville, Mo! It is a really tiny town- I do not even think they have a grocery or convience store! It is just really a few houses & empty buildings! I saw an artical on this auction- online- or I would have never know! They way I got it- It was a yearly thing! I am going to start checking into it!
I will make sure you get the info!!!! And if I can help you anyway- I will! I do live in the counry- have a 8x8 chain Run! No animal is in it!
If I ever saw this auction advertised- I was planning on going!

Good job- I wish I had the means to just buy them all- and give the vet care required! I don't- but I can afford to put some work into it- and heart!!

You are right- JOINING FORCES IS THE WAY!
United we stand, divided we fall!!

The millers who hold these auctions try to do it in a secret way as they don't want "outsiders" so to speak. Especially undercover cameras. But where there's a will there's a way!

I am glad to see you angry about this, most people just look the other way. I commend you for wanting to get involved but unless we fight to change the laws in this country this is legal and it will just continue. As heartbreaking as it is, just going and buying these dogs just continues the cyle. We need to break the cyle.

Here are 3 organizations that are actively involved to try and stop this hideous profit making center. I applaud these people for trying to make a difference and providing them with money to help run their organizations is the best thing anyone can do. They have been fighting this for awhile but more and more people are starting to demand the laws be changed. You can write to your congressman and you can have a voice. If more people would help to educate people on buying dogs from a pet shop this will also help break the cyle.

I hope in my lifetime that we can make people understand.

There is an Amish dog auction once a month just down the highway from my addition. I would love to put a stop to them but have found out they are perfectly legal here. I have contacted my State representative but there always seems to be more important (to others) issues to legislate.

I was at Walmart a few weeks back in the pet section. A young girl was telling me she was getting a shirt for the pug her husband was buying for her at the dog auction that morning. I did take the time to explain about the auctions and the real price that is paid for dogs from auctions. Not only is there the large vet bills trying to get "your" dog healthy, buying from them helps perpetuate the continued cycle.....so innocent dogs pay the price of neglect and greed.

I know I live in my own little world but this is the first time I have ever heard of a dog auction. Oh my gosh, poor babies.

what honestly can we do to stop this? It makes me mad to see animals in this condition!!!! What type of sick people fun those places. I want to do something! But I wouldn't know where to start.

Thank you for this information...I"m so angry that people can use these wonderful loving animals...
Just to make money...from them...you would think if "something" is making you money(seems the only think these people understand) they would care for it...stands to reason if the animal is well cared for..healthy it would have better puppies...I just don't understand the mind of these unfeeling souls

On this site they say the auctions are regulated by state and federal inspectors...in the state of Oklahoma...we can't regulate our DHS system..much less dog auctions..it's a disgrace
I'm going to do everything in my little power to make a difference..thank you for this information

Buying these dogs at auction isn't the way to close down puppy mills. That just puts money in the owners' pockets to keep going. The way to shut down puppy mills is to enforce the laws that already exist. The people trying to close down puppy mills all say when they complain they are told by the officials that they don't have the manpower to do all the inspections. The laws ARE on the books that would close the puppy mills - the laws just aren't enforced.

Sorry but I disagree with you in regards to the the laws are on the books. In many states it is legal to have "puppy farms" (mass puppy producing machines- look at the Hunt Corp)). What is not legal is to have them living in deplorable conditions.
