The
general public is outraged when they learn the truth about puppy mills.
It's time to take action!
Indiana
currently has no laws regulating the conditions of puppy mills. As a
result, our state has one of the highest numbers of puppy mills in the
country. Thousands of puppy mill dogs are forced to live their entire lives
in tiny, wire cages with no exercise. They are malnourished, dehydrated,
living in extreme hot and cold conditions, and they get no medical care.
For the
first time, animal rescue groups, animal rights groups
and concerned citizens from across the state are gathering in one spot to
let Indiana know that we will no longer sit idly by and allow puppy mill
dogs to suffer, and sometimes die, from neglect and abuse.
Our
guest speaker for this event is Jana Kohl, author of “A Rare Breed of Love:
The True Story
of Baby
and the Mission She Inspired to Help Dogs Everywhere.” Jana is attracting
national attention while speaking out against PUPPY MILLS on her summer book
tour. It's exciting that she has chosen
Indianapolis for
a stop on the tour. She has appeared on Good Morning America and in People
Magazine. To learn more about her tour and her book, visit

Please
join animal lovers and humane people from all over the state as we
peacefully gather on Monument Circle to draw attention to the puppy mill
problem in the state of Indiana. It’s time to put a stop to the horrors
these animals endure at the hands of those only concerned with turning a
profit. NO DOGS PLEASE!
