  1. Shelter Dogs By: Laurie McDade

  2. Objectives • To utilize the tools learned in my Basics of Computing class to educate others about adopting pets from shelters. • To explore the topic of buying dogs from breeders and pet shops and why it is bad. • To explore online tools used to help adopt pets to people searching for a companion.

  3. Why Adopt? • There are over five million dogs in shelters across America. • 50% of dogs in shelters are humanely euthanized due to overcrowding. • Shelter dogs often are adopted out after being neutered and vaccinated; cutting out a lot of the cost of owning a new pet. • Only 10 to 20 percent of pets in shelters and rescues get adopted.

  4. Puppy Mills • They house dogs in unsanitary, unhealthy, and cramped cages. • The dogs have no human companion. • Puppies born in these mills are often afflicted with diseases and spread them to other animals. • They supply sickly dogs to pet shops. • The puppies are often not purebred but the breeders lie about their lineage.

  7. Puppy Mills Continued • On average, puppy mills keep about 65-75 dogs in tiny cages with wire floors. • The dogs and puppies are constantly covered in their own and others waste. • There are no state laws outlawing these mills. • Most of these puppy mills are not regulated by the USDA. • Unlicensed mills often sell puppies much too early, harming their health.
