They will be adopting, not buying! Featuring adoptable Chihuahuas and English Bulldogs

At our demo on Saturday we were approached by two people who are interested in bringing new companion dogs into their lives. One man was interested in a Chihuahua, the other man has his heart set on an English Bulldog. We are so happy to announce that these two compassionate individuals are no longer interested in buying dogs from Monster Pets, and when they are really ready for a new family member they will be choosing the adoption route instead.

This is Olive, an English Bulldog mix, awaiting adoption thorough American Bulldog Rescue.

From American Bulldog Rescue: "All everyone at American Bulldog rescue can say about our sweet Olive is wow, what a PERFECT girl! It is hard to imagine that this wonderful girl was found tied up outside of an animal shelter with a note saying that her family could no longer care for her."

"Keep Up the Great Work!"

Yesterday our demo went very well. We had at least five people stop to ask us what a puppy mill is. It's very surprising to us that some people still don't know about puppy mills, but it reassures us that we are doing the right thing by educating people. Many people were out and about enjoying the first real taste of summer, so we managed to hand out a lot flyers and get a bunch of supportive honks and thumbs up. Quite a few people turned around to shop elsewhere (find a list of alternative stores on our main website). After reading our signs, two cars even turned around before they got to the driveway! As one woman was pulling in to visit one of the other stores in the center, she stopped to tell us that she doesn't shop at Monster Pets anymore because of what she learned from our presence. She told us to, "keep up the great work!"

Please consider joining us one of these Saturdays. Any amount of time you can contribute WILL help animals!
