Free To A Good Home Puppies

Free Puppies To A Good Home

Do you know what happens to some pets that are posted in “Free To Good Home” ads? Too many times than not after the pet is adopted it is neglected, abandoned, abused, starved and sadly even sold for animal experimentation. Believe it or not this happens thousands of times per day!

People that place free to good homes ads for their pets do not realize the consequences of their innocent intent of finding a new home for their pet. They certainly are thinking that their pet will end up in good hands and have a better life but sadly so many times that is not the case. They are misguided and it could lead their pet into a tragic situation.

Even charging an adoption fee of $50 or more can deter the abusers because people tend not to value things that are free.  A free pet is a disposable pet.

What can you do to help you may ask? Contact the person that is placing the ad and educate them. Let them know that there are no kill shelters and rescues that are willing to take in their pet and find them a good home. Encourage them to charge an adoption fee. You can potentially be saving an animals life!

This posting may be a little more somber than our usual postings but if you are an animal lover you definitely need to know what’s happening.

Did you know there are hundreds of companies that still perform / fund animal testing and it is a needless necessity in this day and age? Please note,
per PETA’s website, just a few of that companies that we know and actually help support these tests by purchasing their products from these companies:

  1. Iams – yes believe it or not!
  2. Mars Candy (M&M’s, Snickers, etc.)
  3. Numerous Universities
  4. Phillip Morris – Cigarrettes

  8. Dial

The list goes on and on and on…..

Please see the attached pdf for a complete list of companies that test on animals.

If you visit PETA you can learn more about animal testing and you can even sign petitions against these companies.

The best way to stop companies from using animals for testing is to refuse to purchase their products and to write and tell them why you won’t be applying their eye shadow, cleaning your clothes with their detergent, or washing your child’s hair with their shampoo. The power is in the hands of the consumer, you and I.

Thanks everyone!!
