We are a group of dog advocates opposed to pet stores like Puppies of Westport.
Puppies of Westport sells dogs that come from mass breeding facilities where the adult dogs spend their entire lives in tiny cages. Many of these commercial dog breeders face multiple violations for raising dogs in unsanitary and unsafe conditions.
Puppies of Westport customers are told a different story.
Each week, a group of dog advocates gather with protest signs outside the Puppies of Westport store. If you too feel strongly about the trade in pets and the role pet stores play in perpetuating this cruel cycle, pleasecontact us for details of our next protest.
Pet stores say: "Our puppies come from breeders, not puppy mills."
Understand that the word "breeder" is not an exclusive term. Anyone who puts two dogs together and produces puppies is, technically, a breeder. So don't assume that a puppy from a "breeder" did not come from a puppy mill. A responsible breeder would not sell puppies to a pet store; they would want to meet you in person.
