puppy mill dogs

Today I went to the shelter because there are some little dogs from a puppy mill who need to spend time with people so they can learn not to be scared and to trust people. The little guy on my lap is blind. The others want to be cuddled but are very nervous. Since they come from a puppy mill where they are treated very badly they haven't been loved and cared for. When I was leaving, a cocker spaniel arrived with a bunch of new born puppies. Their owner didn't want to take care of them. The SPCA found a foster home for them. There were also some black lab puppies. We snuck in to see them when their mom was on a walk. My mom says too many people don't take enough responsibility for their animals and let them have puppies. It makes her mad to see so many dogs that need homes. It makes me mad too. Neil who works at the SPCA told us there are about 2000 puppy mills in Quebec and until more people start to care and do something to stop it there will always be sad, sick dogs needing to be rescued. People need to stop buying dogs from pet shops because they come from puppy mills. If you want to find out more about what you can do to help stop puppy mills go here:
