Direct correlations between large increases in new and expanding dog breeders seen within Amish and Mennonite communities.
Puppy, Pawrade and Parvo
Our Pawrade puppy died from parvo virus within days of her being delivered to us. We are devastated.
Our Pawrade Puppy Died
We bought an emotional support puppy from what we now know the puppy broker website Pawrade, Petpay, Inc. Our poor puppy died during transport.
Lancaster Puppies Puppy Broker
Our puppy came from the puppy broker Stoney Creek Puppies. They were selling puppies on Lancasterpuppies.com. If we had known beforehand we never would have used these people. We have no idea who Violets breeder is either. They would not give us that information. Don’t support puppy mills.
Bernedoodle Puppy Scam
In 2019, there were 407 registered dog breeders in Lancaster County housing close to 53,000 dogs. Fast forward to 2021, where with the internet sale of puppies skyrocketing, Lancaster County now has 424 registered dog kennels housing close to 60,000 dogs.
Illinois Cuts Off Puppy Mill to Pet Store Pipeline
When signed into law by Governor J.B. Pritzker, HB1711 will amend the Illinois Animal Welfare Act to stop the sale of commercially-bred puppies and kittens in Illinois pet stores. Illinois will then be the 5th state in the country to tell pet stores and puppy mills their cruelty is no longer welcome.
We The Puppies Campaign
We The Puppies, Stop Online Puppy Mills latest campaign to educate people about the dangers and cruelty supported when buying puppies sight unseen over the internet. No breed is immune. The video warns against websites that list thousands of puppies for sale online direct shipping puppies. Buying puppies online is becoming normalized, families purchasing puppies online likely don’t know they could be supporting puppy mill cruelty.
723 Puppies Is Not A Good Thing
Every day, I get a stark reminder just how far we have to go to educate the public on the reality of puppy mills. PawPad Doodles self reported selling 723 puppies last year. It’s obvious right? Any breeder who sells 723 puppies in a year is obviously a puppy mill.
