Jo the miniature schanuzer with a heart murmur was purchased at the Thorp Dog Auciton in March 2007.       Since 1999, the Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project has been working hard to educate the public about the miserable conditions in pet mills, pet shops and other pet facilities. Through our programs and services we have also provided education to law makers and fought for tougher state laws to govern the breeding and sale of pet animals of all species.

       Thanks to YOU, our efforts have succeeded and a new law has been passed in Wisconsin (AB-250 / SB-208, THE COMMERCIAL DOG BREEDERS LICENSURE BILL).

       But OUR WORK has just begun. Even when the new laws are in place, there will still be abuses; there will still be dogs needing our help. And, as those millers who find regulation too "expensive" start shutting down, there will be hundreds, possibly thousands of dogs, who will need vet care, rehabilitation, interim housing, and new homes.

       PLEASE continue helping us help them!

Bentley the puppy mill pup proudly wears his NO Puppy Mills! button at a pet shop protest.        Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project is registered with GoodSearch (a search engine powered by Yahoo) and GoodShop (with links to hundreds of online stores), where all you have to do is visit the GoodSearch/Goodshop sites, choose Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project as the organization of your choice, and click "verify" for us to receive donations from your searches and purchases. We are also a member of the Amazon.com Associates Program, from which we will receive a referral fee from every purchase made through any link on our website.

       In this tough economic climate, these choices enable supporters to donate at no cost to themselves, just for doing something they would anyway! Though we always urge visitors to support their local economies by buying from merchants in their own areas, if you are going to shop online, we'd appreciate it if you would do it through one of the programs that will benefit Wisconsin dogs!
