Today is...

...National Talk Like A Pirate Day! More importantly though, it's also National Puppymill Awareness day. And because of that, Lizzi & Rocco want to give you this message:

"Don't Shop, Adopt! Arrrrg!"

We've fostered a handful of puppymill survivors in the past couple of years, and while I'm happy they escaped those conditions, it breaks my heart to think about how many more animals suffer in puppymills daily. Give those poor animals a voice today - encourage people to really do research on where their dogs come from before they purchase a new puppy. Pet shop puppies may be adorable, but know for every cute face in a pet store, there are more suffering to produce that "inventory" in a cage somewhere.
