Puppy Mill Meetup Support Group

Donation protected

We are looking to reach out to more people and dogs that need our help by attending and tabling festivals., workshops and events like the one we attended in Lancaster last weekend. Right now we just need more business cards but we also need a banner to make us look more professional.
We will in the future need more money to attend some of the workshops that ask for vendor money (we will try to attend the ones that are free).
We want to reach out to all people that have adopted dogs from puppy mills, hoarding situations, some backyard breeders, and some others that meet the criteria ( Laboratories, China meat festival etc.)
To back up a moment I want to give you some background on how this group started. Back in 2008 we adopted  Rudy. He came from a puppy mill in Parkersburg West Virginia. There were over 1000 dogs that were rescued that day. Rudy was one of the lucky ones in that did not have physical injuries he does have and will always have emotional issues. Because of his needs I was unable to find a trainer who knew about dogs like Rudy so I started my own support group. 
We meet every month with a wonderful trainer who specializes in fearful dogs (puppy mill survivors).
We now have over 180 people that are members. We help them help their survivor dogs adjust to the new way of life.


I try to get the word out by myself but need a bit of help. We are trying to go to as many events as possible and need simple supplies like banners and business cards.
We will also be paying our own way to these events. 



Thank you so much for helping out. This is something that I have been doing on my own for some time now and really enjoy helping others.
