Pine Bluff Kennels - the largest puppy mill raid in US history

Pine Bluff kennels currently holds the distinction of being the largest ever puppy-mill raid in the history of the United States. The kennel kept almost 750 dogs in filth, without the basics of adequate food, water, shelter and medical care.

Felicia Earley, ASPCA Forensic Veterinary Assistant, writes about the dogs at Pine Bluff in her blog:

"Almost every dog from Pine Bluff Kennels was rail thin, matted and dirty, with horrid teeth and very long nails. They all smelled strongly of urine and feces. A few were in need of immediate emergency medical attention."

So before you buy, ask yourself where did the cute little puppy at the local dog store come from? Buying over the internet? Think again!! Better yet, adopt from a local shelter. When you adopt from shelter, you are saving two lives. The puppy you take home, plus now there is space for another at the shelter.

Educate yourself --
