These puppies look happy, and that’s probably because they now aren’t in the inhumane conditions they had to be in at the mill. The article, End Puppy Mills claims, “It’s estimated that there are 15,000 puppy mills just in the U.S., all forcing dogs to produce constantly and are the suppliers of nearly 100% of all pet stores, newspapers, and online stores.” All of the animals that are at the mills are forced to live in inhumane conditions. Due to the conditions that the animals are in, the buyers don’t really know what they are going to get. Most of these buyers often end up paying thousands trying to fix the health issues that their new animal has, in worst case, sometimes the animal dies because of how awful the condition it was…

When the 11-year-old German shepherd helped Brown, 39, across Eighth Street close to Airport Avenue, Brown heard the traffic approaching when he started to run.…
Life for these dogs is beyond miserable.

Joe Glik Park, named after an owner of Glik’s department stores, is the newest park property in Edwardsville.

I think it would be a good thing to actually have a dog park. But on that same note it wouldnt be because some dogs cant get along.

Some dogs needs alot room to run and play and exercise.…

And soon, they walk out of the shelter with, a Border Collie Beagle mix.…
Neglected puppies inside puppy mills will most likely stay there for a short while, given that some mills sell up to 150 puppies a week. “The Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council estimates that American pet stores alone sell between 300,000 and 400,000 puppies a year” (Dionne). The breeding animals can never leave their cage, imprisoned in overcrowded, filthy cages and bred repeatedly until the female dogs no longer can. The puppies have little to no vet care, poor-quality food, and small living…

Everyone previously agreed not to let puppy jump up on them, but in the excitement, no one even notices that puppy is jumping up.…

Playgrounds….playgrounds are a great part of childhood. They give joy and excitement to the young boys and girls that climb, slide, and explore them. The most familiar thing about playgrounds are the children and then swings. The annoying sound of the creaky chains moving back and forth. However, ever since I was 15 years old, it's haunted me to the bone.…
