I will never ever understand how people can continue to breed dogs when there are hundreds of thousands in shelters around the country that need homes. I don't care how nice this facility was, I think it is wrong to profit from breeding operations. It kills me that people sell their purebred puppies for hundreds of dollars. And recently, have started charging hundreds for these designer breeds (which are just MUTTS!) I would love to see the day when humane societies and rescue groups are no longer needed because all the animals have happy, loving homes. I got my dog from the Wisconsin Humane Society and I couldn't be happier. He was born in one of these puppy mills and lived in a filthy, disgusting pet shop until two nuns rescued him and brought him to the Humane Society. I love my dog and cannot image the suffering he had to endure being in a puppy mill.

Dana, when I first heard this story on NBC15, it broke my heart. 38 of my 41 years I have always had pets, the last 7 years a guide dog. to hear that woman say those dogs had never had a toy, a name, a dish of their own... well, it drove me to the floor to scratch my pooch, throw the squeaky bear, and appreciate how much work, and love, that dog gives me every day! I wish they weren't in Milwaukee, so I could volunteer to go play with the pups, social ize them, and just give them some much lacking human love and attention. Thanks for all the links in this blog, and for bringing this story to the surface so we can see it doesn't just happen somewhere else. on another note, I can tell you first-hand that Tina's pasta recipie is awesome- i've made it twice, and it rocks, even for a meat eater like me!
