Puppy Mill Books
Happy Tails Books is your resource for puppy mill information.
Here are three quick things everyone should know about puppy mills:
- Puppy mills are large commercial breeding facilities that house hundreds or thousands of dogs at a time. The breeding dogs are kept in small chicken-wire cages or something equivalently substandard with no socialization or veterinary care. Millers, as the owners are known, are often quoted stating that they perform c-sections and other procedures on their own. (These people are not vets.)
- Most puppies sold at pet shops, in classified ads, and online come from these ill, neglected parents.
- The best way to protect yourself and help diminish the number of dogs languishing in mills, which number is the 100,000′s, is to adopt a dog from a rescue or shelter (WATCH OUT FOR CRAIGSLIST SCAMS!) or carefully research breeders, visiting them in person and asking an extensive list of questions to ensure you are receiving a well-socialized, healthy dog.
