Loading ...Puppy Mill Awareness Day Coming Up
On September 20th, animal welfare advocates, volunteers, animal-lovers and pet charities alike are supporting organizers from the state of Ohio who are partaking in a very important national event: Puppy Mill Awareness Day.
Puppy Mill Awareness Day makes it easy and fun to help raise awareness with downloadable flyers, lawn signs, sample letters to newspaper editors, t-shirts, buttons and more! On PMAD, you can meet up with event organizers and volunteers to hand out flyers and information to people who need to know the truth about puppy mills and the pet trade. You’ll give out information about pet adoption options (so people don’t go to the pet store!) and basic information about puppy mills. (All the materials are positive and educational.)
The PMAD website also recommends the following activities leading up to Puppy Mill Awareness Day:
- Join a meetup group in your area (or start one). Meet and join others who want to educate the community about puppy mills by handing out flyers, tabling at PetSmart, PetCo and other animal-friendly businesses that don’t sell puppies. If you live in Ohio and want to join the campaign, click here. Visit the PMAD website for a list of currently participating cities.
- Send a Letter to the Editor at your local newspaper about Puppy Mill Awareness Day. You can download a guide and sample letter, as I said above, on the PMAD website.
- Hang a flyer at work, the grocery store, the dog park, veterinarian’s office, groomer etc. There are flyers available for download on the PMAD website.
- Organize a pet store protest in your area. Click here to learn how.

Hi! Nice to meet you. What a great blog. I can’t believe I haven’t found you before.
Thank you for letting us know about Stop Puppy Mill day. My mommy has many HSUS T-shirts for spaying and nootering and she’ll wear her “Stop Puppy Mills” t-shirt that day!
My mommy grew up with rescued Golden Retrievers and other woofies! I’m her first kitty.
My family has made it a policy to always adopt animals form shelters. It breaks my heart, this puppy mill stuff, when there are so many animals in need of homes. We will look for an activity in our area. I know my kids would really love to feel like they are DOING SOMETHING. I love what you’re doing with this blog. I’m definitely going to put you on my blogroll top help raise awareness.
