PLEASE do not buy puppies from puppy mills! These dogs are horribly mistreated, and deserve a better life. They have no human contact. They spend 7-10 years in cages, which are cramped and filthy, and they only have wire mesh to walk on. They rarely have shade, and live in their own waste. This is only so someone can make the almighty buck. When a puppy mill breeding dog is taken from their cage after this many years, they are afraid to even walk on grass, because it is unfamiliar to them. Imagine being in prison all your life, and being made to produce litter after litter.
I implore everyone who reads this to rescue a dog. DO NOT buy dogs from breeders or pet stores. They only perpetuate this travesty. Over two million dogs a year are euthanized, because they were not rescued by a loving family. If I can touch one person’s heart with this plea, I will sleep better tonight.
When I rescued my dog, he had a broken leg and three cigarette burns on his back. He is now the most loving dog I could have ever hoped for. He’s just happy to have a better life.
Please…just think about this.
