Tell all your friends: Today, July 21, is No Pet Store Puppies Day!

We need your help raising awareness about the tens of thousands of dogs who live their entire lives in puppy mills—large-scale, commercial breeding facilities where profit is placed above their wellbeing—where they are often kept in tiny, overcrowded cages in dreadful conditions and without access to proper veterinary care, exercise, food, water or human interaction. You already know that puppy mills are a national animal welfare problem, but today is a great opportunity to inform your friends, family and community about what really happens at puppy mills and remind them that most pet stores puppies come from puppy mills.

Here are a few easy ways you can help puppy mill dogs right now and encourage others to take a stand against puppy mill cruelty, too. First, visit our revamped No Pet Store Puppies website and be sure to sign the pledge that you won’t buy anything from pet stores that sell puppies—and ask your friends and family to do the same!

Then, watch the video below featuring Molly and her adorable pup, Joey, to learn why you shouldn’t shop at pet stores that sell puppies. To make sure this message about puppy mill cruelty reaches as many people as possible, please share it with your networks on Facebook and Twitter.

With your help, we can reach millions with this important message!

We refuse to rest until every single mill dog is safe, but we can’t do it without your support. Help the ASPCA continue our fight against puppy mills, and all animal suffering, by making a donation today.
