Tomorrow is the day many of us have been waiting for – Puppymill Awareness Day ~ a day to create awareness of those dogs stuck in puppymills not only in PA but all across the states and other countries. This day is also to celebrate those who have been freed from those “prisons”. Events are planned in other states and in the UK.
Walt, co-founder of PMAD, is excited, ready and so passionate about puppymills that he and the others have told me they have begun the planning stages for next year’s event!!
Many excellent speakers, including Victoria Stillwell of Animal Planet’s “It’s me or the dog”, Rescue Ink, who , by the way, has a reality (documentary style) program beginning on the National Geographic Channel beginning September 25th and Chris DeRose of Last Chance for Animals and HSUS speakers will be among some of the many speakers. Plus more than 40 rescue groups will also be on hand.
It will be a pack-filled, informative day with a rescue parade , the hero award and the infamous march through Lancaster County. I encourage all to come out and see and learn for yourself what puppymills are and what we, as private citizens, can do to help these helpless victims.
Tonight will be a fundraiser for PMAD- the Dog “Art” Auction held at the Knights Of Columbus, Lancaster County. Visit their website for more information. All monies raised will be used in the fight against puppymills.
One day, One Voice………I hope to see you there! Stop by and say hi if you see me!! I would love to meet you!
Please visit PMAD’s website for directions to Intercourse Park, Lancaster County where this event is taking place. Walt told me he is hoping people can carpool to this park because he anticipates a large crowd!
