Why is it every ad I read in other States all say they are the worse States for Puppy Mills? I have heard this from people in Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas and now Wisconsin. Puppy Mills are everywhere and unless you get your Legislators to enact a bill to regulate them, you will have them and there is nothing you can do for the poor animals. My mother in Tennessee got three breeders shut down just for being "suspected" of being a Puppy Mill. Just like the guy up there in Plymouth, Wisconsin. He is advertising Springers and a few other breed in our local Newspapers under his name, not his Kennel since he was a focused story on our news station and the NoPuppy Mill Organization we have. It was that if I never Googled his Kennel name, I would have never known. Yes, I have reported this to the AKC & CKC. I was going to go and look at his Springers. I figured if I am forced to pay $150 - $300 for a mix-breed, I might as well get a Purebred. Luckily I didnot go for I would have probably caused a riot. And there are alot of poor mix-breed pups out there who are looking for a forever home. If you see animal abuse, call the Animal Control in your area!

As for the comment of "Free Pet Ads" :
The other concern often voiced with free pet requests is long-term care. If someone can't afford a purchase an animal, how will they be able to afford food, vet bills and other needs?

Dumb question. Why would anyone want a pet in the first place if they could not feed it or take care of it?? Don't always put the blame on the people looking for a free pet. Alot cannot afford to go and spend oodles of money at one shot. Look at the irresponbile Pet Owner who allowed their pet to have babies in the first place and then when no one will take them for the large fees they want for a mix breed, they dump on a side road or in a dumpster.

When I finally find the puppy I am looking for, it will be going down to Tennessee by my mothers vet who only charges $25 office visit and $15 for all the shots including rabies. My cat of 19 years who recently passed, I took down there for a operation a year ago and the Vet only charge $75 total and that included updating all his shots. (Here the Vet wanted over $300 just for the operation!) People from all across the Midwest plan their vacations so they can stop by him and get their pets annual shots and checkups. This is "true", no bull. When I had gone to pick up my cat after its operation, a couple from Oklahoma was there having their dogs annual checkup. So until then, I am still in search of my "Free Puppy or Puppies".
