Dogs are bred & rebred every time they come into heat.
Many times there are several in one cage crowded & trapped.
Babies are born with physical & mental defects from the abuse.
They are inter bred which can lead to more defects.
Some places ram pipes down their throats to keep them from barking.
When a puppy mill puppy is bought, the owner can end up paying thousands of dollars because of the conditions they were bred and transported in.
Many of these puppies are born with genetic conditions of the heart, lungs and seizures which sometimes don't show up for years.
Many of them have parvo, worms, mange and various other disorders.
When the parents are no longer useful to the millers, they are disposed of (shot, beaten or whatever method they want to use).

REMEMBER THIS - FOR EVERY PUPPY SOLD AT A PET SHOP - A SHELTER PET DIES!!!!

Spaying and Neutering Your Pets

Benefits of spaying female pets:

No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted
Less desire to roam
Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated, especially done before the first heat cycle.
Reduces number of unwated dogs/puppies
Helps dogs live longer, healthier lives

Benefits of neutering male pets:

Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in fights or auto accidents.
Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and decreases incidence of prostate disease.
Reduces number of unwanted dogs/puppies.
Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
Helps dogs live longer, healthier lives

Top 3 Reasons to Spay and Neuter :

Sterilization of your cat or dog will increase his/her chance of a longer and healthier life. Altering your canine friend will increase his life an average of 1 to 3 years, felines, 3 to 5 years. Altered animals have a very low to no risk of mammary gland tumors/cancer, prostate cancer, perianal tumors, pyometria, and uterine, ovarian, and testicular cancers.
Sterilizing your cat/dog makes him/her a better pet, reducing his/her urge to roam and decreasing the risk of contracting diseases or getting hurt as they roam. Surveys indicate that as many of 85% of dogs hit by cars are unaltered. Intact male cats living outside have been shown to live on average less than two years. Feline Immunodeficiency Syndrome is spread by bites and intact cats fight a great deal more than altered cats.
It helps to reduce companion animal overpopulation. Most countries have a surplus of companion animals and are forced to euthanize or disregard their great suffering. The surplus is in the millions in the United States. Cats are 45 times as prolific, and dogs 15 times as prolific, as humans. They do not need our help to expand their number; they need our help to reduce their numbers until there are good homes for them all.
