I am 12 years old and I volunteer at the Second Chance Animal Shelter. Recently, 12 dogs were rescued from a puppy mill in Kentucky. I already knew a lot about puppy mills because my Aunt Shannon works with dogs−which is how I got involved at the shelter! Dogs in puppy mills suffer from illness, are not cared for properly and are not loved. I was so happy that we could save the dogs who had lived in the puppy mill. I want people all over to know that puppy mills are bad. Don't be shy or embarrassed to spread the word!
