30 dogs rescued from puppy mills experience touching the ground for the first time

Those mills treat dogs as nothing more than puppy churning machines made to do their bidding for profit.

But you have to feel for these dogs though. They went from the horrors of a puppy mill to a place where they suddenly felt loved and cared for. It must have been a huge shock to the pups.
And if you go to the Puppy Mill Project, you’ll read that there are an estimated 10,000 puppy mills in the United States. They can produce up to around 2 million puppies a year.

Those poor, poor dogs.
The sad part is that the demand for dogs is way too low. That means and an estimated 1.2 million dogs are euthanized in shelters every year in the U.S. since the numbers don’t add up.
Most of those dogs don’t find permanent loving homes.

The truth is that many people unknowingly support puppy mills. They end up buying from pet stores, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, and other places similar.
Imagine a hot, dirty place full of dogs kept in horrible conditions, They are unable to leave their cages, then are forced to breed up until the point that they can’t produce any more puppies.

And no, they don’t receive the proper care inside.
When they can no longer produce puppies, those breeding dogs are simply discarded. It’s such a cruel fate but it is all too real.
It’s a good thing that there are many organizations dedicated to the rescue of these dogs. Rescued canines get a second chance.

It is always good news when there are dogs rescued from these mills. The 30 rescue dogs got to walk on solid ground, finally getting to experience freedom.

But they’ll get there, with the proper TLC.
30 dogs hopefully found forever loving homes with lots of cuddles and treats.
