Puppy Mills
You may wonder where your dog was before you got it. Your dog may have been breed in a safe environment that your puppy could spend their first few months happily, but did you know that very year in America, it's estimated that approximately 2 million puppies are sold that originated from puppy mills, so there is a chance that your puppy was born in a brutal environment.

C.D. Watson tells an emotional story about a dog named Maxx and a woman named Monika. Watson states that, “The rescue agency that took Maxx found him to be a mess. His long, golden fur was matted and soiled with feces. It took 8 hours to clean him for foster care placement.” When Maxx was adopted by Monika, she had noticed that he had troubles walking, so she took him into the vet for an X-ray. After being crammed in a wire cage that was way to small for him, Maxx’s knees were turned to the wrong side after being dislocated. Maxx had also suffered from hip dysplasia and a severe ear infection in both ears. All of Maxx’s injuries were caused by the poor caretaking skills of the breeder. After four happy years out of the puppy mill, Maxx passed away due to problems the doctors could not fix. Thanks to a puppy mill, a wonderful dog like Maxx, did not get to live the life he deserved without pain. Every year, approximately 3 million dogs are killed in puppy mills. Though it is sad, the facts are true. Tons of dogs are being killed each year in puppy mills because they either can not produce puppies any more, they get severe diseases from being treated poorly, or even because their owner forgot about them. It’s tragic that so many dogs die just because some evil people want money over anything
