Don't Buy from Pet stores
 -if you are reading this, we are likely singing to the choir, so tell your friends, co workers, post a sign in your office...send this page to everyone in your address book. 
ASPCA Statistic 9 of 10 pups at a Pet store come from a puppy mill

Petland Stores buy puppies from the Hunte Corporation, who, as you will see below, buy from Amish Breeders in Ohio.

Hunte Corp buys puppies from breeders, (or what many consider puppy mills), in Holmes, Coshocton & Tuscawarus Counties in Ohio.

Pups from the filthy images you will see here and on theChannel 6 story could be at one of the local Petlands at this very moment. 

Keep an eye on our site for legislative updates
-in the coming months we will be updating Ohio on several pieces of legislation that we think will dramatically help the
dog overpopulation problem in Ohio. We will need everyone to contact their state reps to get something done

The Role the Hunte Corporation plays in puppy mills
 Hunte Corp, according to their web site, is the largest distributor of puppies in the world.  But Hunte states the are more concerned with quality, not quantity.

Taken directly from the Hunte Corp Web site:
"Andrew Hunte is downright passionate about the quality of the puppies he supplies"

Hunte Representatives are knowingly recruiting from some of the worst puppy mills in the United States.
If Andrew Hunte cares so deeply about the quality of the pups he sells, why is the Hunte Corp recruiting from puppy mills in Holmes County?

- Are they inspecting the kennels they buy from?
-Why doesn't the Hunte Corp spay and neuter all their pups before they sell them?   
-The Hunte Corp is a multi million dollar business, yet they don't care enough to spay/neuter the pups before they sell them. 
Pups from these situations are not breeding stock.  
   Even Petland admits their pups are not meant to be bred.

Why not buy a puppy from a Pet Store:

Find your state rep
http://www.house.state.oh.us/jsps/Representatives.jsp

Tell Ohio Attorney General  Petro we want all breeders taxed in Ohio. 

Also, contact the Holmes County Tourism Board to tell them how you feel about Holmes County’s dirty little secret: the hundreds of puppy
mills hidden in and behind barns, well out of view of the unsuspecting public; the thousands of dogs that live up to ten years in wire cages
with no human companionship or socialization. The Amish may live simply and eschew “modern technology” but tell the Tourism Board to stop
hiding the truth from the tourists: that the Amish have cell phones, caller ID, and that they sell dogs over the Internet!

Dog Auctions

-Letters to the Editor from residents of Holmes County
-Read first hand accounts from rescue groups who have attended dog auctions.

We would like Ohio to follow Pennsylvania's lead and have legislation passed to ban dog auctions.  Because officials had the foresight to
see they were getting into deep trouble with the puppy mill situation in Lancaster PA, they wisely opted to place a ban on dog auctions.
Are you a legislator who would be interested in sponsoring this bill?  Please contact us.  Kellie, kdifrischia@yahoo.com
