A cousin of mine adopted a little female pug mix that was rescued from a puppy mill. What a terrible life this little dog had before, and how lucky she is that Jessica found her and opened up her heart. These poor dogs are used only as puppy making machines, and are often kept in cages their entire lives. She is a little neurotic, but who wouldn’t be after being treated like nothing but a breeding machine. I’m surprised that she still has licks and love to distribute (in abundance!) to Jessica and her husband.
One way to shut down this inhumane practice is by refusing to purchase puppies from pet stores. This is where many of the puppy mill pups are sold, and you can simply vote with your dollars. Eventually, the profit will disappear and along with it, the purpose for the puppy mill.
