would someone be so kind as to pm me with information about how i can help? i can at least write letters...

You can start by visiting www.unitedagainstpuppymills.org which is the local non-profit organization fighting against the puppy mill problem in PA. You can click on the 'How Can I Help' button once on the page.
You can also visit www.awarenessday.org for additional information.
I am not PMing this information, as there may be others who would be interested in learning how they can help.

When are all you tree huggers going to get off this band wagon and do something constructive?

It is about time someone takes a stand for the puppies. I know many of you put the value of a dog or cat along the same lines as a television set but to many of us the most innocent of Gods creatures. Many people I know have been charged thousands of dollars for "pure breed" puppies who have had all kinds of genetic illnesses. These are expensive to treat and luckily for the pups my friends got treatment. How many of these precious pups were put down because they became a "burden"? It is not right for the Amish to refuse to be a part of society as we know it and say they live a pure life and then raise these pups in this condition FOR MONEY. No wonder they won't be needing Social Security

thanks, suburbanmom!!!
