When most
people think of puppies, nothing but happy images of wagging tails and wet
noses come to mind. There is a reason that we associate puppies with unbridled
happiness, it is near impossible not to see one and turn into a puddle of
absolute mush. While this might be the case, the sad reality is that life for
puppies isn’t always so warm and fuzzy.
The majority
of dogs that we see in the windows of pet stores come from puppy mills. These
are large-scale breeding facilities where dogs are treated as nothing more than
commodities to be sold. Breeding dogs are kept in tiny wire cages for their
entire lives, deprived of any form of medical care – and even the basic
necessities of clean food and water. These pups will never know what it is like
to run free on soft grass or experience the simple luxury of a proper bed to
sleep in. The most tragic part in all of this is the fact that the sale of
puppies goes right back to keeping breeding dogs captive. So, we may only see
sweet puppies on the other side of shop windows, but what we don’t see is
untold amounts of suffering and abuse.
The good
news, however, is there are many organizations working tirelessly to put an end
to this cruel industry. National Mill Dog Rescue specializes in carrying out
rescue missions, saving dogs from defunct mills and giving them a proper chance
at the life they deserve.
This little
cutie is in the care of National Mill Dog’s rescue shelter where they will get
all the care they need before they can be adopted into a forever home. Thanks
to these amazing people, this dog, and countless others, will finally learn
what it means to be loved and cared for – the life that all dogs truly deserve.
