About Puppy Mill Protest

Foundation

            Puppy Mill Protest began in July 2004 as a simple idea to help stop puppy mills.  The founder learned about puppy mills watching an animal rescue show on television, which prompted a huge interest in the topic and much research.  Rachel began working with other anti-puppy mill organizations and liked the idea of doing something to educate the public.  Since Rachel was unable to donate much time or money and could not foster any dogs, she figured she would put her degree in advertising and marketing to good use.  Puppy Mill Protest became a way for Rachel, and others, to educate others about puppy mills and how to help stop them, without being tied to one specific "end puppy mills" organization.  Puppy Mill Protest is an organization for people and organizations alike, with information, protest materials and educational materials readily available to anyone with a computer. 

Purpose & Goals

            The purpose of Puppy Mill Protest is to educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills and puppy-carrying pet stores.  By doing this, Puppy Mill Protest hopes to help stop puppy mills and the existence of mill-supporting stores and organizations.  Members of the group do everything from handing out flyers at local events to picketing in front of pet stores to simply striking up a conversation about puppy mills with strangers.  Puppy Mill Protest strives to educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills and what can be done to help end them forever.
