| Awareness Day Activity Schedule: | Can't get to Lancaster for this year's Awareness Day? Advocates in the Bucks, Chester and Montgomery County areas are invited to join North Penn Puppy Mill Watch for their weekly Saturday pet shop protest to help raise awareness about where pet shop puppies really come from and to encourage the public to always rescue or adopt when seeking to add a new companion animal to the family. North Penn Puppy Mill Watch will be offering free advocacy buttons to all who attend their rally for the first time! As always, advocates need only bring themselves as signage and good company is provided by NPPMWatch. Awareness Day, now in its sixth year, serves to raise public awareness about the plight of the breeding dogs trapped in Pennsylvania's commercial breeding kennels that are also known as puppy mills. Hosted in Lancaster County, an area in the Commonwealth that houses the largest concentration of mills, this year's event includes an array of outstanding guest speakers including: Victoria Stilwell (from It's Me or the Dog on Animal Planet) and members of Rescue Ink (whose show will soon debut on National Geographic) along with table displays from an assortment of advocacy groups - including North Penn Puppy Mill Watch - and the famous march against mills that tours participants through Intercourse, PA. Now regarded as the nation's largest anti-puppy mill rally, thousands are expected to gather at this year's event but if your schedule won't permit the drive to Lancaster you can be there in spirit by joining North Penn Puppy Mill Watch at their weekly event. |
