September 20th is Puppy Mill Awareness Day:

Puppy Mill Awareness Day was founded in 2003.

As rescuers and animal advocates, we realized this topic was mostly untouched and needed to be addressed on a larger scale.

Our mission is to educate the public concerning the abusive conditions and practices existing in commercial dog breeding facilities, or “puppy mills,” throughout the United States.

Puppy Mill Awareness Day (PMAD) also rescues and rehabilitates breeding dogs that are surrendered into our care. We provide much needed veterinary care, as well as socialization.
