Last year Oprah and Lisa Ling did the famous “Puppy Mill show” exposing the deplorable situations that these animals are forced to live in while churning out “retail ready” puppys for the unsuspecting, and in many cases uneducated public. I would bet that most people, if made aware of the circumstances by which that cute puppy ended up in the pet store window, would most definitely “pass” on buying it. Join us for this week’s show as we talk to Bill Smith from Main Line Rescue in Pennsylvania who appeared on that Oprah show to bring to light the “puppy mill” situation. Bill reminds us of the conditions which these animals are kept in and what progress has been made with legislation. There is still much that we can do to help these animals and Main Line Rescue is leading the way. Please check out their Web Site for more info on how YOU can help!Â
