Dont buy puppies Holiday PSA

[gonzo361]

the best breeds are rescues because every one deserves a 2nd chance and a loving family

The best book ever: "A Rare Breed Of Love", by Jana Kohl. Jana tells the story of her dog, Baby, who was rescued from a puppy mill. Baby and Jana are an inspiration to all who read their book.

Adopt! Don't Shop! Visit Your Local Shelter Or Rescue!--As a shelter volunteer, I can't emphasize this enough. For more information about pet shop puppies, puppy mills, and backyard breeders, visit these websites: Best Friends Animal Society, ASPCA, Humane Society of the United States, Missouri For Dogs, No Wisconsin Puppy Mills, & Animal Rescue Foundation. On Facebook, search "puppy mills". Thank You!!

If only more people would understand this message & fix their pets we could make these shelters go out of business..... oh what a day that would be!

It's not only the big puppy mills -- it's the smaller scale breeders who add to the problem. Just because a breeder has only 3-4 litters a year does not mean the puppies should be created, nor does it mean the parents get better care. I know of "good" breeders who kill their infertile bitches the moment they can't produce puppies. I know of "show" breeders who don't care they're creating a good % of dogs with serious health issues, as long as they get one or two top winners a year.

Please do one for bunnies at Easter. Tell people to buy chocolate bunnies instead. Bunnies make great pet if bought for the right reasons not for impulsive easter presents.

BRAVO BRAVO!!!  EXCELLENT MESSAGE! I'm posting this to all of my pages! Thank you for producing this fantastic educational outreach project!

This is cute! and fyi cliffjumper123 no they are not. Breeders are fine. Its pet stores that you need to be worried about

[lollipopcatz9]

I get my pups from the spca. I agree with you guys

[littletroll]

Great lesson about getting a dog!

[Independentohya270]

very true! i love this& puppyills suck. :]

[melmac06]

The next pet and my furture pets will all be rescued from the shelter. Pet stores are horrible when it comes to selling dogs, cats, etc. I think the saying, "Don't breed or buy while sheter animals die" is something everyone should hear and everyone should follow! Thanks for putting the word out, Best Friends!

While I abhor puppy mills, I find it kind of sad that the puppies sold in pet stores, and born in puppy mills, must suffer in order to end the mills' existence... fighting puppy mills is a double edged sword :(

[bettiepagestyle]

What about all the online ads and paper ads for litters born from backyard breeders? Isn't that the same as a puppymill? People make a living churning out pups from houses that also end up in shelters.

[BestFriendsVideos]

You are absolutely right! Commercial breeding operations account for such an amazingly huge amount of dogs born every year however. Think about how many pet stores in the country, and how many dogs they need to meet their demand!

Just think if we could all think about adoption this holiday season (and year round), and not buying dogs what an impact it would make!

[cliffjumper123]

excuse me but are you saying well licensed breeders who give healthy dogs to people should be stopped? MY dog came from a licensed dog breeder and my grandma was one as well! but i do agree, puppy mills must be stopped.

[BestFriendsVideos]

What Bettiepagestyle is referring to, I believe, is the inordinate amount of people in this country that spend thousands on a pure bred puppy, and then decide to re-coup money by letting their dog have litters and then selling the puppies. It's as serious a problem as commercial breeders.

[cliffjumper123]

ah, now i understand, i believe that you should spay and neuter your pets, not breed them, unless you've thought of everything such as food expenses and shelter costs.

[owCrAzYCoOkIeS]

@cliffjumper123 fyi its not i want to be a breeder but its pe stores that need to be watched

[Wisepati]

@owCrAzYCoOkIeS It's more than pet stores...there are a lot of people who should not be allowing their dogs to have puppies. It's horrible!

[bigheinzer]

@cliffjumper123 Reputable breeders should never be an issue, I think it's targeted more at the puppy stores you find in malls and strip malls and low rent pet stores
