The two PetSmarts in Ottawa each have agreements to take cats from the Humane Society in Ottawa and the SPCA across the river in Quebec. They also welcome other rescue groups to participate in pet adoption days, and provide food and other goodies on a rotation basis. I refuse to support petshops that sell animals, even though it is heartbreaking to see these poor creatures in the window. I always have a quiet word with people who appear interested in them, telling them that they might want to reconsider. Most are quite surprised but thankful to know the real story. Many folk (including myself a few years ago) are totally unaware of the pet shop/puppy mill connection.
Many backyard breeders advertise their animals in the pet section of local papers. Perhaps an ad advising against buying from unknown breeders would be another way to enlighten the unsuspecting public. |

This is just a thought, but maybe if you rallied stores that share these concerns together, and printed a little leaflet or poster showing the dangers of puppymills, and post it in the stores? If they don't sell animals, just supplies, or if they do their best to avoid selling puppymill dogs, perhaps they would agree to a bit of awareness to their clients? It would not endanger their clientele, wouldn't point fingers at anyone specifically, (although the guidelines on how to stop a puppymill would be very helpful) and it might give some people insight on puppymills?
Who knows, maybe clients would be thankful for such awareness. How many posts do we see on here about "Seeking a certain breed" and once we reply, they respond they had no idea what a puppymill even was! We need to make people more aware! Ruffy

That does sound like a good idea.
