How Can YOU Help The Puppy's

The most effective way to helping these dogs and puppy mills would be to educate others. Word of mouth is very important and useful. By educating your self and others about puppy mills will reduce the amount of people that are buying puppies from pet shops and on line selling sites. There are various ways that one can get involved with the spreading of information and educating others.

  • Get an education about mills to spread the word.
  • Stop Puppy Mills on Your Website, and Join Our Facebook and MySpace groups. This will raise awareness to your friends and followers.
  • Help make your local pet store "puppy friendly." This means stopping local pet shops from selling puppies and referring prospective buyers to shelters or ethical breeders.
  • Assist with Ad's. Helping local organizations bring awareness like the Humane Society.
  • Lobby for better Laws. Contact your federal and state legislators to bring awareness about the problem and make stricter laws.
  • Tell all your friends. It does make a difference even if one person stops purchasing pets from a pet shop.
  • Furnish your vet office with flyers. Be sure to spread the word and educate others at yours vets office.
  • DONATE!

These simple tasks can be completed by all. You are the one that can make a difference. Don't let these dogs live in harms way. Remember there is always a puppy that needs a home at your local shelter. Don't be selfish and take the easy way out. DON'T SHOP, ADOPT!

Australia has the RIGHT idea!




Mans best friend should be treated as a loved one. In Australia there is a Hotel for dogs called PawPaws. They have the right idea on how our best friends should be treated. In Australia they have the highest percent of pet ownership in the world being 40%. They know how important it is to care for their pets when aways at a longs days of work. At PawPaws not only is it a day care center they have Salon and Spa treatments, personal trainers to get your pups in to shape, puppy school class, and parties. No detail goes unlooked when it comes to dogs. PawPaws also has a 6,000 foot roof top deck where dogs can run around and play with each other or even go for a dip. Only if we could get puppy mills to one day look like this then all of my worries would be gone. If you are ever in Australia and need a puppy sitter be sure to check out PawPaws http://www.pawpaws.com.au/welcome_to_pawpaws.php
