History of National Puppy Day

You know what’s magical and fantastic? Oh right, we’ve already been fanboying about it, haven’t we? That’s right, don’t care! Puppies! Puppies bring the gift of love without boundaries to us, and they’re absolutely determined to be the best friend you’ve ever had.

National Puppy Day was established to bring awareness to the world about puppy mills and how to go about adopting. Puppy mills are often some of the most horrible establishments, with the females bred until they either can’t conceive, or die giving birth.

Between these heinous establishments and both wild and family dogs remaining unsprayed and unneutered, the population of dogs is getting out of control.

It's #nationalpuppyday so here's a quick selfie with our pup Zoey who we rescued from a hoarding situation. While today is obviously about cute pups, it was also started to raise awareness about puppy mills and encourage folks to adopt rather than buy puppies. So adopt don't shop! . #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIoDI1AuSz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
