Where do Puppies come from? What is a Puppy Mill? NoPuppyMills.com is not here to say what is or isn't acceptable, although we most certainly have all of our own opinions. We are a site dedicated to education. The principle is simple - we educate you about the commercial dog industry and you decide what is acceptable and at what level you wish to become involved in the fight against puppy mills. NOTE: In PA, Lancaster is unfortunately home to many puppy millers making some calling Pennsylvania "the puppy-mill capital of the East Coast".

Top 10 Reasons You Should Consider a Rescued Dog!
"Why on earth would anyone want to adopt a rescued dog? After all, aren't they like used cars? Who wants someone else's problems? If the dog is so wonderful, why would anyone give him away? If he was a stray, why didn't someone try to find him? I'd rather buy a puppy so I know what I'm getting, and besides they're so cute!" ...
Rescue groups often hear a variation of this conversation. Many prospective dog owners are just not convinced that owning an older (i.e, 6 mo.+) "pre-owned" dog is better than buying a puppy. But there are a number of reasons why adopting a dog from a rescue that carefully screens and evaluates its dogs can provide an even better alternative. Here are the "Top 10 Reasons You Should Consider a Rescue."

Make Peace with Animals/International Greyhound Center Until recently, when racing Greyhounds finished their careers, the fate met by many was euthanasia or sale to research labs. One of the main activities of Make Peace with Animals is their Ex-Racing Dog Rescue Program. Through volunteers, they operate a successful greyhound adoption service. Greyhounds are elegant, intelligent animals that are known for their gentle nature. Despite the fact that they have never before been in a home, they take to it as if they've been waiting all their lives for the experience. Cynthia Branigan is a freelance writer and president of Make Peace with Animals. Site information includes their Meet & Greet Schedule!

Project Outreach helps feed these dogs until they can be spayed/neutered and placed in good homes. Donations of food, money and blankets are always needed. All donated funds go to offset our medical bills.
Pet Rescue of Mercer (NJ) Pet Rescue of Mercer is an all volunteer, not-for-profit animal rescue group based in Hamilton Township, Mercer County, NJ. PRM rescues neglected, abused, and abandoned animals from local shelters by finding quality homes for them. PRM strongly believes that euthanasia, as a solution to the problem of pet overpopulation, is wrong. It is a simple and archaic response that has no place in a humane society. Sadly, the animals that are being routinely destroyed in Mercer County NJ and around the country are not just the neglected or abused strays. Tragically, pets are routinely abandoned when families move, when landlords forbid animals, if the pet has costly medical problems, or when they simply fall out of favor. These are the animals we all need to take responsibility for. If you are an animal lover, put your love into action! Get Involved! Join Pet Rescue of Mercer. Contribute your time, money or expertise. Campaign for mandatory spay neuter laws. Become a voice for the voiceless! The owner of this site is a PRM volunteer and encourages all animal lovers to do what they can for local rescues and shelters.

Our mission is to stop animal suffering. We offer our assistance wherever the need for spay/neuter, education, and supportive services is the greatest.
