Last Chance for Animals along with Carole Raphaelle Davis, actress and author of The Diary of Jinky, Dog of a Hollywood Wife, is getting her Hollywood dog-loving friends together to protest puppy mills and encourage dog adoption on the biggest puppy buying day of the year.

Law & Order actor, Richard Belzer and his adopted dog, Bébe, is one of the celebrities scheduled to show his support. There will also be testimonials from citizens with their dogs who have been duped by puppy stores into buying a sick puppy.

Chris DeRose, President & Founder, Last Chance for Animals had this to say:

We will be in front of Posh Puppy, a new pet store in Beverly Hills, encouraging people to ADOPT - not buy and to educate the public on puppy mills. Stores like Posh Puppy in Beverly Hills and Encino, The Puppy Store in West Hollywood, Puppy & Me in Sherman Oaks and the recently scrutinized Pets of Bel Air all get their dogs from puppy mills (mass breeding facilities known for their squalid conditions). California Law states that breeder information must be available to a would-be buyer. All you have to do is go and take a look at those breeding facilities — I haven’t found a single case where the breeder hasn’t actually been a puppy mill. There are over 2 million puppy mill puppies sold every year in this country. These facilities will continue to flourish and breed animals that are prone to severe health problems, genetic defects and behavioral issues unless we put a stop to the source of the problem; puppy sales from pet stores and the Internet. These puppies sell for between $1000 & $4000. The best way to get a happy and healthy puppy is adopt one and save a life.”
