A Puppy Store PSA
Watch it on YouTube: “Puppies Aren’t Products!”
During the weeks before Christmas, more puppies are bought from pet stores than any other time of year—meanwhile, animal shelters are overcrowded with wonderful pets just waiting for loving homes. And the puppies in these stores almost invariably come from high-production facilities…
puppy mills.
Puppy mills look forward to this all year long, but this year, let’s educate consumers about puppy mills so they choose shelter pets instead of buying puppies in pet stores.
If more people simply adopted pets instead of buying them from the store, puppy mill suffering could be a thing of the past. What better time to send a message to the public to head to the shelter to adopt a pet? Here are three ways you can help spread the word:
