If any of you have ever gone out looking for a dog or have friends with pets, we can bet that you’ve heard the phrase “Adopt, don’t shop.” When this poor puppy was rescued from a puppy mill she was in horrible conditions. However, through some serious TLC, she’s made an amazing recovery.

For those of you that may not know what a puppy mill is, it is an establishment that breeds puppies for sale. While this may not sound bad, the conditions that many puppies live in are horrendous.
19. Horrible Conditions

Puppy mills have been deemed as inhumane and this is due to the fact that many of the puppies are not treated well. They often live in terribly small cages, are not taken care of, and the females are expected to breed nonstop.
18. Sales

Profit is often more important than the general well-being of the dogs and that is why many people opt to adopt from shelters instead. When you adopt from a shelter you are giving a homeless dog some amazing love instead!
