Description: See that cute little dog in the pet store window? Chances are it came from a puppy mill, a breeding facility that forces caged, neglected and often sick dogs to churn out puppy after puppy to be sold for profit. That’s how nearly all pet stores work. Meanwhile, millions a wonderful, healthy pets end up in animal shelters because of divorce, money trouble, or simply not having a home. Across America, this leads to the killing of one pet every six seconds. That's 10 before the end of this video, and more than 9,000 by the end of today. But with one simple choice, you can help just by deciding to adopt instead a purchase your next pet. Animal shelters are full of amazing pets looking for homes: mixed, pure breed, big or small, puppies to adults. You can find that faithful companion you've always wanted: a fluffy snuggler, your new hiking buddy, or even one that looks good in hats. When you adopt your new best friend, not only are you saving a life, you're taking a stand against puppy mills. Now imagine sharing the joy of adopting with your friends. Seeing the smart choice and impact you've made, they adopt their next pets and share with five of their friends, who share with five more. Before long, thousands get involved. Pet stores stop selling dogs from puppy mills, and even more lives are saved, and all because you chose to adopt.
