Lily, you are our inspiration to put an end to puppymills. You'll forever be remembered as an angel.

summerlomba, what a great idea!!
Placing an ad in the Pets classifieds is something we can all do, giving websites to puppy mill info and adoption info
I never met Lily but through dealing with Theresa and other members of MDRN, I feel honored to know she was the inspiration for so much good. The podcast was lovely, Clay. May we live to see the day when mills become a thing of the past.

God Bless all of you!! and thanks
My local newspaper refused to stop selling ad space to backyard breeders so I bought a month long ad space right in the middle of the "purebreds for sale" ads. My ad directs people to an anti-puppy mill website so people can see the torture puppy mill dogs and ones from backyard breeders go through. I also included websites of purebred rescue websites in my area. The internet is full of ads for purebred dogs and cats for sale. So is the back of Cat Fancy and other magazines like it. What an uphill battle we face! My anger will never subside which will give me the strength to keep fighting this evil industry.
I'm going to a puppy store protest soon. We all have our signs ready that say "not in our community". Just like people who protest a child molester being released from prison and into their neighborhoods, we need to talk about puppy stores selling puppy mill dogs in the same way. What they are doing is criminal and they do NOT belong in our communities. Some of our signs have photos of rescued puppy mill dogs which don't need any words their broken jaws and pathetic faces say it all.
What an amazing legacy for Lily. Clay captured Lily and Theresa's story with such grace, dignity, and love...the video makes you feel like you know them both. I hope that this video increases Lily's impact on puppy mill awareness and helps to raise funds for NMDR's efforts. While no dog deserves to live as Lily did for so long, I know that she was blessed to find Theresa and her family. And from the video, you know that they were blessed to find Lily.
Teresa, your video moved me to tears. We never had a "pet store dog" when I grew up -- they were always rescues or shelter dogs, and they were the best. I hope that there will be legislation at some point that will shut these concentration camps down for good.
