Puppy Mill Bust - We Need Your Help!

LOYAL has been working very hard at helping victims of the recent puppy mill busts in Quebec. Some of the images and videos below are from the most recent puppy mill, while other are from past puppy mill breaks all across North America. Puppy mills exist in almost every province and state within North America. Puppy mills are defined as:

"...sometimes known as puppy farms, are large-scale dog breeding facilities that operate under substandard breeding conditions.The term can be applied to operations involving other animals irresponsibly bred for profit, e.g. "kitty mills." Animals that have been produced in mills are most commonly sold at pet stores to unsuspecting consumers. Irresponsible breeding on a smaller scale is referred to as backyard breeding."

While a legal battle ensues between the puppy mill owner and the Montreal SPCA LOYAL has offered a safe haven for these animals to experience food, shelter, relaxation and most of all LOVE. We desperately need donations to support the overwhelming influx that we have taken in. Please pass this blog around to compassionate family and friends as not only a means to support these victims, but to remind people the damage and cruelty of irresponsible breeding.

Riley is a puppy mill survivor...

"Trina wanted to say hello too !! She came to Loyal Rescue from a Missouri vet who was supposed to put she and her 4 siblings( from a puppy mill..) to sleep and refused ! Instead he vetted them and allowed them to come to rescue ! Trina was returned from an adoptive home due to her constant nasal drainage and infections....upon investigations and many trips to the Small Animal Clinic in Guelph, .it was determined by an MRI that she has been smashed in the face at the mill and all the nasal bones and turbinates were fractured and displaced and thus could never have normal nasal drainage....so she constantly snorkles...but she is so adorable and cuddly, that I could not resist keeping her...she loves all dogs and is a great welcomer to all her new foster friends..she never stops wagging her tail and truly loves life !"

"Mickey Mouse [pictured below] came from a puppymill. He had broken teeth from trying to bite his way out of his crate. He had no muscle tone in his hind legs because he never had any exercise. The millers dumped him when he was 10 years old. He was angry, trusted no one. He was given a week to live by my veterinarian. I had him for 7 years and loved him dearly. He eventually learned to trust and to love me. He was a dear old soul."
