After decades of frustration, a new strategy against puppy mills. Like the war on drugs, or the age of prohibition, the historic efforts to end the abuses of puppy mills have been aimed at reducing supply.

In the case of puppy mills the greatest efforts have gone into exposing the horrors of factory farming pets, with the intent of generating public support for legislative measures that will improve conditions in high-volume breeding operations. Decades of such a strategy have proved to be an unmitigated failure – puppy mills continue to pump out millions of pets every year while animals continue to suffer. This is hardly surprising given that puppy mills are regulated by agricultural departments at the state and federal levels, and agribusiness, which sides with the mills, is a powerful lobby and sees every concession to humane interests as the thin end of the wedge for broader, animal-friendly reform in farming.

Best Friends is supportive of any benefit that improved oversight might bring, but we come at the issue from a different angle.

If possible, it can be a good idea to get references, or at least choose an establishment that is transparent and straightforward in their dealings with you.

It is ill-advised to adopt or buy a sick animal, it would be like buying a broken car on purpose. In short, do your homework. Take the “Adopt! Adopting A Dog With Issues. I’m very outspoken about the value of early socialization for puppies. The education they get early in life can not be replaced by pills, therapy, shock collars, obedience classes, or having their teeth ground down so that when they bite someone, at least the person will probably not need stitches. There’s no substitute for just getting that little guy out there and introducing him to as many different people, places, things, sounds, sights, floorings, animals and environments as possible in a pleasant way so he learns to accept or like all those things.

In doing so, you will develop a wonderful dog who has few, if any “issues” as an adult. So, let’s look at these three cases… What if you didn’t realize the importance of early socialization, and you’ve already adopted a dog over 4 months old? What if you know how important socialization is, but you find yourself in a position to adopt a rescue, or an adolescent dog from a shelter? This isn’t because the puppy is bad, stupid or vicious.
