Ban Puppy Mills

Please visit the site and watch the video: This MUST stop!

I'm sure these puppies will the 'inventory' for countless pet stores through out the U.S. Before you BUY a pet, remember the hell these dogs are living in. This is the reality of puppy mills.

When you buy...shelter dogs die.

FROM ASPCA:

“I want to apologize.”
“I take full responsibility for my actions.”
“Those things just didn’t have to happen.”

—Michael Vick, former football star sentenced to 23 months in federal prison on charges in connection with a dog fighting operation on his property in Virginia

Last year’s federal case against Vick dominated the media for months, generating public concern for the dogs seized from Bad Newz Kennels—and for animal victims across the country still involved in this brutal “sport.” The sentence may have been handed down, but the concern and questions still remain. What happened to the dogs seized in the case? How did Vick get involved in this underworld?

Many of these questions will be answered this Sunday night during “Animal Witness: The Michael Vick Case," the premiere episode of Animal Planet’s new series on animal forensics. The one-hour show offers an in-depth look at Vick and exposes the hidden world of dog fighting—and for the first time on national television, lead investigator Bill Brinkman talks about the inner workings of the case.

The episode will also feature interviews with Dr. Melinda Merck, ASPCA Forensic Veterinarian, and Officer Annemarie Lucas, Supervisory Special Investigator, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement. As reported in ASPCA News Alert, the ASPCA worked closely with federal authorities at every step of the case, first assisting in forensic examinations and later leading behavior evaluations of the seized dogs.

“The involvement of an extremely high-profile celebrity in the horrific sport of dog fighting prompted universal public outrage and condemnation,” says ASPCA President & CEO Ed Sayres. “This case will forever remain a pivotal point in the history of animal welfare in this country and the world.”

The episode is scheduled to air at 10:00 P.M. EST this Sunday evening, August 24. Please visit Animal Planet online to learn more. Please note, the episode does feature footage from underground dog fighting videos—viewer discretion is advised.

FROM ASPCA:

As the festive days of summer wane in many parts of the country, one little parasite keeps the party hopping in warm, humid areas where he reigns. With nearly 2,000 species and subspecies, the flea thrives at temperatures of 65 to 80 degrees and feeds on the blood of the unsuspecting—especially cats and dogs.

Fleas are hearty and nimble pests, and when searching for a host, they can jump up to two feet, 10,000 times in a row—that adds up to the length of three football fields! They can also cause troublesome health problems in companion animals, such as anemia, skin allergies and tapeworms. These legendary leapers are tough to fight, but the ASPCA offers tips that will rub your pets the right way:

* Know your enemy: Confirm your pet has fleas by identifying signs such as droppings or “flea dirt” in your pet’s coat, excessive scratching and scabs.
* What goes around comes around: Treat all of your pets, not just those who show outward signs of infestation.
* Shine on, pet parent: Thoroughly clean your house, including rugs, bedding and upholstery, and discard any used vacuum bags.
* Honor—and trim—nature’s gifts: Since fleas love long grass and shady outdoor spots, remember to treat and maintain your yard as carefully as your house.
* Doctor knows best: Talk to your vet about choosing the right, species-specific treatment for your pet, such as a topical, liquid insecticide applied to the back of the neck. Never use products for dogs on cats, and vice versa. Also ask your vet to recommend products for treating your yard.

“Cats especially are extremely sensitive to insecticides, and pets can die from improper use of flea control products,” says Dr. Steven Hansen, veterinary toxicologist & ASPCA Senior Vice President. “Just a few drops of concentrated permethrin, present in many spot-on treatments for dogs, can be lethal to cats.”

To avoid accidents, pet parents should read all product labels and follow directions for proper use. For more information about flea prevention and pet health, please read our top ten medical tips. And enjoy an itch-free end of summer!

Found her on youtube and yes the pups are cute but she promises puppies are available all year round. Why are you breeding for profit when millions of pets are euthanized each year? WHY?? Just stop!!

These kinds of people will not stop until consumers stop BUYING their puppies.

Her care sheet details the many health risks of micro teacup chihuahuas, yet she continues to breed them. She also says that she will sell you a micro even if you have small children because you will go elsewhere anyway. So I guess it means if YOU are going to spend that money no matter what, it might as well be in her pocket right? She doesn't care about these pups, she cares about the money.

I love how she justifies not allowing people to come to her home to view the puppies or their living conditions because it is a health risk to the pups. Whatever.

Be sure to check out the page of 'moms and dads' so you can see her adorable little money making machines. I'm going to go and throw up.
