Most families do not consider that question when they purchase their new pet. It is very easy to go the pet store or shelter and fall in love with a puppy’s adorable face. Their big wanting eyes and wagging tails draw you in without any evidence of their history or how they got to where they are.

Puppy Mills are large-scale breeding facilities characterized by overcrowding, inadequate shelter, food, water and veterinary care in which profit comes before the well-being of the puppies within it. The puppies are sold wholesale to the pet industry after they are born into filth from unhealthy mothers who have been born into puppy mills themselves.
