DON'T BUY FROM PET STORES...OR PARKING LOTS!

We know you want that cute little puppy. We know you also don't want to a person who unknowingly supports a puppy mill or irreputable, "backyard" breeder.

This little Doodle puppy may be cute and cheap....but STOP BUYING PUPPIES FROM PET STORES, OR MEETING PEOPLE IN PARKING LOTS TO PICK UP A PUPPY, OR IGNORING WHERE THAT PUPPY MAY HAVE BEEN BORN OR WHY.

The laws unfortunately do very little at this present time to stop these people who continue to breed and DISQUISE what's happening behind the scenes by selling to you from a pet store, or meeting you in a paring lot.

WE KNOW - WE HAVE seen the results, we have met the breeding dogs at times, and it's not pretty.

The reality is that YOU are part of the epidemic problem in our very own community when you buy a puppy in these situations, w without doing your research about 'Mom & Dad', and the ethics of the breeder. Ask these questions, and follow through, to help you to assured you are buying from a reputable breeder.

If the pet store won't give you the answers...that's your red flag that there is something to hide behind the source of these puppies. RUN! DO NOT BUY!

But YOU keep them in business. YOU can make a dent in the puppy mill epidemic, right here in our own community.

Yes...right here in our own community, perhaps at our own local 'pet stores'.

If YOU don't buy, and each and every one of you make a firm decision NOT to buy your puppy from these situations...they won't breed, because you take away the motivation for the cruelty to these dogs.

SHOUT LOUD AND SHOUT OFTEN! PERSEVERE! KEEP BEING THE VOICE!
