Advice on buying a puppy


Thinking of getting a puppy? Make sure you know where your puppy comes from.

Buying a puppy is not as simple as you may think. Sadly, not all puppy breeders and sellers are reputable.

There is a dark side to the trade - puppy trafficking. This is where puppies are bred in large numbers for profit, often with little regard for animal welfare. Many puppies fall sick, and some die.

Puppy Farm Awareness Day Rally




http://www.oscarslaw.org/index.php

The Puppy Farm Awareness Day Rally on 19th September 2010 at Parliament House in Melbourne was an absolute triumph. Thousands joined together with 60 animal welfare organisations around the state; supporters travelled from country areas and even interstate. We want Oscar's Law and the campaign will not cease until every puppy factory has been shut down.

Please visit this Oscar's Law website in the coming days for information about the next vital steps in the campaign.
