| Puppy Mills Hi everyone, I am new to dogs & this site. We adopted Rocky on Wednesday & I joined this site on Friday. I read a couple of threads & saw the term "puppy mills" thrown around here & there....now, me being new to all of this, I had no idea what that meant, but from what I had read, I could tell it was not going to be good. So what I did was googled the term.....I am utterly disgusted & very disappointed. Is there any petition I can sign against them, or any group I can join? I definitely want to help stop them.....I am so upset that something like this could go on for so long. I'm glad my husband & I did not buy from a pet store....we were considering it at first cause we had no idea. Thank God we didn't.

| Yeah, puppy mills suck. Strangely enough though, I have never seen a puppy or kitten for sale in any pet store in my city or the surrounding area...wonder if it's illegal to sell them in-store here??? |

| JOIN THE CLUB!!!! I absolutely HATE puppy mills. I have a group against them that has tons of petitions and info about them. Just click the thing on my signature that says Join YAP Here and you can join. YAP stands for Yorkies Against Puppy mills. But if you don't have a yorkie or have another furbaby, you can still join. If you have questions, let me know.
