Why Adopt?
• There are over five million dogs in shelters across America.
• 50% of dogs in shelters are humanely euthanized due to overcrowding.
• Shelter dogs often are adopted out after being neutered and vaccinated; cutting out a lot of the cost of owning a new pet.
• Only 10 to 20 percent of pets in shelters and rescues get adopted.

Puppy Mills
• They house dogs in unsanitary, unhealthy, and cramped cages.
• The dogs have no human companion.
• Puppies born in these mills are often afflicted with diseases and spread them to other animals.
• They supply sickly dogs to pet shops.
• The puppies are often not purebred but the breeders lie about their lineage.

Puppy Mills Continued
• On average, puppy mills keep about 65-75 dogs in tiny cages with wire floors.
• The dogs and puppies are constantly covered in their own and others waste.
• There are no state laws outlawing these mills.
• Most of these puppy mills are not regulated by the USDA.
• Unlicensed mills often sell puppies much too early, harming their health.
