How Much Is That Puppy In The Window?


Many people walk into pet stores each year and walk out with a puppy. How much is that puppy in the window? Well, the price of a pet store puppy is much more than what the price tag says. A world of filth and broken hearts is hidden behind that puppy and price tag because those puppies come from puppy mills. Just what is a puppy mill you ask? According to the Webster dictionary, a puppy mill is a commercial farming operation in which purebred dogs are raised in large numbers. Due to these large numbers most dogs in puppy mills receive little to no human interaction and experience major health problems. Most of the time adult female dogs in puppy mills will have nipples that hang down to the ground and most dogs once they are no longer able to produce puppies are tossed away like trash such as bottles, containers, and broken items.
Dogs need love and compassion. They are man's best friend and loyal even when others are not. They deserve the same in return. A lot of people ask why puppy mill owners treat dogs the way they do. Unfortunately, nobody has the answer for that question. I think it may because they never experienced love. However, no reason or excuse will ever make up for what puppy mills have done to those poor animals. In these blogs I will post information such as a more in depth description of what puppy mills are, my personal experience with dogs from puppy mills, some statistics about puppy mills, how the puppy mill world tries to hide from being exposed, and how to help shut down puppy mills. I will then post a concluding video.

  1. Are there regulations for puppy mills in the state of Pa.? Is there a way to promote more public awareness for adoption at shelters versus pet stores?
