Puppy farms are like factories for producing dogs and are run for profit only. The dogs are treated as commodities and are often unhealthy, bred from more than they should be and can live in terrible conditions.

The pups are usually removed from their mothers far too early which can leave them traumatized. They are shipped around the country by rail or in trucks and sent to dealers or pet shops. Many pups don’t survive the experience and those that do often have health or temperament problems.

If you love dogs then please don’t buy one from a puppy farm as they can only survive if there is a demand. Pet shops should also be avoided as it is likely that their pups have also originated at a puppy farm.
