Check out this video. Please notice the breeding mother's pictures towards the middle.

On Saturday, January 10, 2009 22 cities across the U.S. participated in the HSUS 'National Day' demo against Petland selling puppies from puppy mills. We were fortunate enough to have ABC and CW33 News stations out to cover our event here in Plano, Texas. We had 122 participants. We plan to keep going back until Petland changes their ways. We want them to do what PetCo and Pet Smart are doing by adopting out rescue dogs instead.

HSUS conducted an 8 month undercover investigation of Petland and proved their link to puppy mills. http://tinyurl.com/64mkh6

Not only do puppy mills contribute to the HUGE imbalance of dogs in the U.S., but the cruel and inhumane suffering in which the breeding mothers have to endure living their lives in those hell holes is just plain wrong. (2 to 3 million dogs are churned out in puppy mills per year while 3 to 4 million are killed in shelters in the same year. - Quote from Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO of The Humane Society of the U.S.)

Puppy mills are neither needed nor wanted.

Please choose to adopt from your local shelter, rescue group, or from a responsible breeder where you are sure to meet the breeding mother. That is the key! You MUST meet the breeding mother if you are buying a puppy! No responsible breeder sells their puppies to pet shops or off of the internet.

Remember dogs who have to be killed at shelters die not only of being euthanized by injection, but many shelters must use the gas chamber which is horribly cruel. We all have a human responsibility to not only do the right thing, but if possible participate to help end this atrocity.

Here is also a video of a puppy mill rescue by The Humane Society of the U.S.
