What NOT To Buy? Pet Store Puppies! #AdoptDontShop

What NOT to Buy? Pet Store Puppies!

This time of year, my blog is filled with suggestions and advice on what to buy for just about every fur kid and pet lover on your holiday gift list. I wanted to just take a sec, and bring you a very important message about what NOT to buy this holiday season (or ever)!

Please DON’T buy pet store puppies or anything else from ANY store that sells puppies!

You see, most pet store puppies come from puppy mills—you know, those huge, factory-like breeding operations where dogs live in horrible conditions and never receive love. Every time you buy anything from a pet store that sells puppies, you’re actually supporting this very cruel industry.

The ASPCA has a great new video that helps to educate the public about this, so please take time to watch it and help spread the word by sharing it with everyone you know!

After you watch our video, please remember to share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, and kindly ask them to share it, too. Be sure to use the hashtag #AdoptDontShop. Daisy & I are really counting on you to help ASPCA reach millions of people with this important message.

Know of a pet store in your area that sells puppies, or want to see which stores do?

Visit the ASPCA map & database to search or add info about pet stores that sell puppies!

Want to do more?

Show your support & Take The Pledge that if a pet store sells puppies, you won’t buy anything there. Not pet food, kitty litter, or squeaky toys — Nothing! And pledge to tell everyone you know not to shop there either!

Also, if you’re really into helping end puppy mills, sign up for a chance to win a free ASPCA Puppy Mill Advocacy Pack. It contains all sorts of cool gear, including a puppy mill message tote, a puppy mill message tee and more!

I’m participating in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sturm Foods, Inc. I received a promotional item and product samples as a thank you for bringing you this info.

Most of you know me well enough by now to know that I LOVE my coffee. If you hadn’t already noticed, I’m even enjoying a steaming cup of Joe in my cartoon logo!

I recently got to sample the Donut Shop Blend from Caza Trail and wanted to pass along the tip for those of you with a Keurig K-Cup Brewer, so you could enjoy some, too. It’s a blend of select coffees from Latin America and the single size servings are super convenient for busy mornings or when you need an on-the-go treat

It’s a crazy time of year and we’re all running around finishing (or starting) our holiday shopping on top of all the other stuff that busy families are up to right about now. Even if you’re always on the go, steal a few precious minutes and relax with a great cup of coffee you can make for yourself. You can locate the Donut Shop blend and 24 other Caza Trail varieties on their Amazon page.

There’s just something special about the holidays. That warm glow from the fire, the fact that you actually get to spend time with your kids (or your friends’ and family’s kids). It’s the perfect time to curl up with the little ones in your life and read them a storybook. Reading a totally new, beautiful, amazing book with a child is a treasured holiday experience.
