The Doris Day Animal Foundation was founded more than 20 yrs ago. The main purpose of this foundation? Fighting abuse in the industry and educating the public on the hidden costs behind the mass bred puppies sold in pet shops!
They joined with the Humane Society of the United States 4 years ago and their ability to tackle these issues has expanded.
Puppy mill operators treat female dogs like breeding machines; they are to churn out liter after liter in filthy conditions. And when their breeding years are over…….do they get a comfortable place to live out the rest of their lives? No…they are killed to make room for younger more fertile dogs!
In 2009, there have been more than 3,000 dogs rescued from 16 separate mills! And in 2009, 10 states passed measures to crack down on puppy mills.
Doris Day urges you to call your state legislature and tell them how strongly you are against puppy mills. Ask them to strengthen penalties for those who breed dogs in abusive conditions and to increase the investigation of puppy mills in your state.
One phone call could change literally thousands of lives!!
