The Amish Should be Ashamed of Themselves!

Puppy mills. You know they're wrong, I know they're wrong. But did you know the Amish are running some of the biggest puppy mills in this country and they're in Ohio and Indiana? Who would have thunk the people known for doing the right thing and living by a code of ethics would create a hell on earth for dogs?

They mostly deal in small breeds were they can keep dogs confined in small cages stacked one on top of the other. No medical care, no flea treatment, no ability to run in grass, no life for a dog.

Don't buy from pet stores! I know a lot of people ask me "Well, what happens to that dog if I don't buy it?" What happens is that another dog isn't put in its place to whine and cry, afraid and alone. By not buying that one little puppy in the pet store, you're saving the next one. Fewer demand, fewer puppy mill dogs in the pet store.

I know they're cute. I used to buy gardening items at Alsip Nursery in St. John, IN but I will NOT support any store that sells dogs, especially from so called breeders. It's hard to walk by and see them in those wire floor cages, but I see the effects of breeding every single day through rescue. Breeding kills. It's expensive, it's unreliable, and it kills shelter dogs.

Oppose all pet store dog sales and help put puppy mills to an end. Never buy from a pet store! Too many lives depend on it!
