FIGHT PUPPY MILL CRUELTY
Chain Free Austin encourages you to join the fight against puppy mill cruelty. If you want to bring a dog or puppy into your family, please adopt a homeless animal rather than buying from a pet store. Many pet stores obtain their dogs from puppy mills. Puppy mills are industrial-scale breeding operations where animals suffer in filthy, overcrowded, disease-ridden conditions.
BOYCOTT PETLAND
Investigations of the chain pet store Petland have revealed that this company receives some of its animals from puppy mills. Please join the nationwide boycott of all Petland stores.
