Where to put your trust.

***Disclaimer*** ... this was a post off the internet. RMWV doesn't know the whereabouts regarding these dog's. We want to believe they have been rescued. W...e are sharing with you because so many ppl don't realize the horrific abuse behind the scenes of the cute little puppies that are being sold at puppy stores. Please, if you know of abuse like this, go into your local Animal Control Facility and file a welfare check report. ... fyi we are only referring to backyard breeders and not reputable breeders that follow the laws. ********************* Putting this up here because we think all the world needs to envision this . . . This is a photo of female dogs used for only breeding purposes at a puppy mill. They never once leave those cages. Ever. Their paws will never touch the grass that is beneath their feet. Their puppies will be sent to pet stores around the country. The next time you or someone you knows buys a pet store dog, remember this photo. You are NOT rescuing a dog from a life in a puppy mill. You are buying a dog and lining the pockets of the puppy mill owner so he or she has the means to continue doing this and the pet store owner who pays a small price and marks up the profit hugely. You ARE allowing this abuse to continue. In rescue, we refer to these people as 'backyard greeders'. Most all the 'greed' stock are never handled or given any kind of medical care and many are chronically ill, given poor quality food and then dumped at pounds when bred out or left to die in their cages. This pic is actually not the worst of the worst, sad as it appears. The conditions often are much more deplorable and inhumane. Most of you likely could not handle those greeder pics. It is the same in every state. What I am asking here is that you have the compassion in you to share this with others, that you do not buy from pet shops selling 'cute' puppies because all puppies are cute when taken out of the conditions and put up for sale at extravagant prices. That you spay/neuter your pets and do not litter and ALWAYS adopt, don't shop until all unwanted/discarded animals have their forever homes. And, remember, if you can't commit, don't get! Pets are family and a lifetime commitment. Let's empty the pounds/shelters! Responsible pet owners can make this happen. Be a voice for the voiceless! It takes a Village!

UPDATE (4/20) - Happy to say this sweet boy has been adopted!!! <3 UPDATE (3/11) - Dog was safely trapped today and taken to Bedford County Humane Society. Male... black lab, wearing shock collar (pic below in comments). Will be checked for chip. Please contact them (814-623-8968) with any owner info. MANY thanks to all who assisted in capturing him! **SIGHTING** "This dog has been staying in our shed at our farm (we don’t live there) on Mill Rd in McConnellsburg, PA - Harrisonville area. He goes to the neighbors and they feed him, but you can’t get close to him. Looks like a black lab mix, wearing a shock collar." ~Sherry Sharar~ (Seen since Tuesday - 2/26)
