Let's put puppy mills out of business

Puppy mills are awful places. Mother dogs are put in kennels and are forced to have puppies. I rescued a 7-month-old Labrador retriever named Macy from a shelter. She is smart, friendly and energetic. She scratches at the door when she has to go out. She is such a smartie!

Puppy mills are in terrible condition and so are the dogs there. I hope that puppy mills will someday get stopped. But until that day I think no one should buy puppies from pet stores. That's where some pet stores get their puppies.
