Yorkshire terriers are among those most commonly found in puppy mills.

Like you, we are outraged.....

....when cases of animal abuse make the evening news... Yet, there is an unseen world of cruel neglect and suffering that few Nebraskans know exist. Commercial dog breeders, many categorized as puppy mills operate LEGALLY in Nebraska and across the country. Dogs as products is not a new industry but has become a silent enigma that has flourished in certain parts of the U.S.   Nebraska has approximately 380 licensed commercial breeding facilities and even more that are unlicensed.

Our goal is to create stronger legislation and regulations to eliminate the suffering of these animals. We have the ability to bring about change by supporting legislation that eliminates the suffering of helpless animals and electing animal-friendly lawmakers who will support our goals.
       
Ask yourself- would you let your family pet spend a lifetime in a cage, never to be loved or able to give love in return? Of course not! Sadly this is the plight of these dogs who spend their entire lives as  production breeders... and this is completely legal under current legislation.

Let your voice and concerns be heard... and make your vote count!

Nebraskans need to know that current Nebraska laws are inadequate and do not protect dogs in breeding facilities. Join us as we work to create a better environment and stronger legislation for companion animals in Nebraska.

MORE DOGS RESCUED FROM NEBRASKA PUPPY MILLS....
  
On January 17, 2010, more Nebraska puppy mill dogs were saved as various rescue groups from Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota came together to bring these dogs to safety. Many of the 99 dogs rescued were in need of emergency medical care. Frankie, a little 1 pound Maltese was rushed to the vet where it will be determined why he is failing to thrive and whether he has a chance of survival. Another little Yorkie girl arrived with a dangling, broken jaw and is currently being helped by an Omaha vet. Her fate is still in question.
