What is No Pet Store Puppies Day?
No Pet Store Puppies Day raises awareness of puppy mills and urges people to adopt from shelters instead of buying from pet stores. Many pet-shop puppies come from large breeding facilities that put profit over welfare, keeping dogs in cramped, unhealthy conditions. Launched by the ASPCA in 2011, it champions #AdoptDontShop and humane treatment of animals.
