Today, September 17, is Puppy Mill Awareness Day.
While I had known for a long time about the evils of puppy mills and pet store puppy operations, my little Aussie made it a much more immediate cause. He was rescued from a West Virginia "breeder," along with his brother and sister, before they could be drowned. The rescue group was given mere days to arrange a pickup.
Maxwell is an amazing dog; loving, playful, and intelligent. I can't imagine anyone considering him or any other dog expendable.
So take some time today to hug your dog, thank your breeder for their good ethics, and appreciate the rescue organizations in your area.
