- One of the dogs HSUS rescued and local shelter took to adopt
- Ready to whelp…this was her “whelping box” She delivered two pups (one dead) the next day
- housing
- PA breeder bust
- Been around for decades, classic sales channel was pet stores this played into how USDA interprets the Animal Welfare Act and thus how they write regulations to enforce the law note AWA requirements for licensing definition of “retail sales” which remains unchanged despite efforts to pass legislation as well as court challenges major busts and lots of press in 1980s pet store sales declined but are coming back up
- Public misconception that they are illegal difficult to understand why such conditions are allowed questions as to why we can’t just outlaw them think pet stores who sell sick dogs would go out of business efforts to classify dogs as “farm products” or “agricultural animals” lack of awareness and understanding of how mills thrive and where puppies are sold

- USDA inspections vs. state inspections neither works perfectly, some areas worse than others Example: Ongoing USDA enforcement problems, MO audits showed USDA did a better job there than state state inspections vital because of growth of non-wholesale puppy mill industry ala internet sales new wrinkle is import problem history and growth of import situation oversight challenges (CDC/USDA)
- State issues puppy mill problem growing migration from PA puppy mills current laws not strict, but not out of line with the pathetic laws in most states
- How do we solve the problem? Education and Legislation/Enforcement
- Education meeting people where they are at focus group data (don’t believe their puppy could have come from mill, think they can spot an unhealthy puppy, think the can judge breeder based on pet store environment, think “the humane society” is doing/should do something about it) general public education talking about good breeders setting aside spay/neuter and backyard breeder issues working with good breeders explaining the reality of “papers” giving one consistent message: “know your breeder”
