I knew a girl who worked at a pet shop in Evansville, IN. She walked out on her job because she refused to "take care" of the puppies on display "the way the manager of the store said" She told me that store rules were to only feed & water the puppies AFTER the store closed. this way the puppies would do their eating, drinking, pooping, peeing and playing at night time. The pens could be cleaned before opening and would stay clean while the store was open. the puppies would be sleepy during the day and when people were looking at the puppies they would pay attention to them, bark and act cute because they were hoping to get food from the people :( She said it was terrible. She also said puppies would come in and then get sick within a couple of days. She was only there a month or so... she refused to stay there as an employee. This was several years ago.. not sure if that pet shop even still sales puppies but they are still open. |
Also.. to add... She said the pet shop "doubled" on the price of the puppy. So a $1500 price meant they had paid $750 from the broker. I know the lady down south sells to a broker. I wonder how much they're getting for these mill puppies? |
oh God... that just makes me sick!! I am going to send to everyone I know. I just don't understand how anyone could be so cruel!!! I got Remy from a "home" breeder.. recommended by my vet. I know it was not the best place in that she did not breed show dogs.. but I was in her home and saw the clean loving place the dogs had. I also knew a lot of mutual friends-- so I know Remy has only had love her whole life. Next dog I get..I want to save a dog .. love a dog that has not had love!! |
There's 2 senators for CA so do I write to both? I can't find the representatives...or are senators the representatives? There's apparently two classes...what is that? I'm not familiar with the government classification system...Also, do you have a template of what to write...? I want to send a letter to support PUPS ACT, but unsure of exactly what to write. Thanks! (Sorry for so many questions...) |

Done. Our local clubs always have something going to earn money for the animals and we try to educate the public about Puppy Mills. The majority of people have no idea. |
PUPS Act Below is a link by state to see what your state is doing for animal abuse and puppy mills. It's very interesting. Dick Durbin from Illinois introduced PUPS Act 2011. Please contact your U.S. senator(s) and U.S. representative(s) by calling or mailing a letter. I can't imagine why a politican would not sign this bill but who knows. Politics is a strange game.

gives me chills ....ppl can be so sick!! :( |
Jodi, do you know what kennel this baby comes from? Hope the H#ll its shut down. So glad you posted this and if anyone has a FB page post this, we need to make the public aware. Each and everyone of us can play a huge part in closing or exposing puppymills, petstores or BYB in your area. |

This just breaks my heart every time I read things like this. My late Audrey who is the 1st Yorkie I adopted came from a place like this. She was 8 yerars when I adopted her. Her whole body inside was just a mess when the Rescue Group took her in for her Spay and Dental. Her uterus was such a mess it was just falling a part. She had no teeth left after the dental was done. When I first brought her home, she just paced in perfect square about the size of the cage she was in, it was just heart breaking. She was always on edge. She Dx's with heart problems a month after I adopted her. I was able to have 4 wonderful years with her before she passed. She was my joy. My 2nd Annie was only 2 yrs when the Rescue Group got her out of the Mill, she was skin and bones only weighed 4 pouns and should have been 8 pounds. She had Liver problems her life that I had her. I just lost her this past New Years Eve. My Tee Tee was 8 years old when I adopted him.He was a stud dog in the mill. He had his problems as well. I only had him 4 short years before he passed in 2006 due to seizure Disorder. Oh my could go on and on. |
