I have a love/hate relationship with the stories we do on puppy mills. Usually it's the Houston SPCA or the Houston Humane Society doing the dirty work. We see the video of them going in to pitiful conditions, bringing out pathetic looking dogs, crating them and taking them to what I hope will eventually be a better place. Oftentimes, it's the breed rescue groups that step in to pick up the slack. Alyson from Cocker Spaniel Rescue of East Texas emailed me to tell me about these poor dogs who came to them in June from a Lufkin puppy mill.  Chip  Joey Alyson says these two are feral. They spend most of their time hiding and are scared of people. Cocker Kids has more than 90 dogs in their program and they're looking for foster parents to help socialize them. If you - or any friends of yours - are considering buying a purebred dog, please consider the rescue groups in town. You can find a list of them here on my blog page. If you can't keep a dog on a permanent basis, perhaps you could offer to foster one. All of the breed programs on my list need help! |
