Lady on Regency Court in West Santa Rosa near Occidental Road and Brittain Lane stopped me to ask if I was missing a Stray Black Lab mix with a harness on. She couldn't make it stay so it has walked on. Can you share with the neighborhoods?

I've seen this red vehicle often and never knew what it was until right now:

Here's a collection of clips (pun) from this afternoon. I volunteer-groomed a sweet Doodle, only one of 15 rescued from a puppy mill and delivered at 2am by Dogwood Animal Rescue Project. Support, volunteer, foster, donate items, contribute. This beautiful friendly (she was giving little nose boops too!) young female will be spayed, health checked, then available for adoption at Dogwood.

The only way to stop puppy mills, is to stop buying puppies online or from pet stores. The end.

If you didn’t meet the breeder in person, and meet mama, it’s a puppy mill. Period. Don’t fall for those adorable ads of darling puppies snuggling with kids on the farm. It’s a puppy mill.

Puppy mill rescue in progress. Fifteen lucky dogs made it out of Ohio puppy mills and are headed to a beautiful new life in California. ❤️

Here are the first photos of some of our newest puppy mill rescues on transport to us now. Also pictured is an updated list of the dogs on their way. We expect them later this week.

Most of the animals we rescue have always been, and always will be, from our areas of most need in northern and central California. However, every year we make a point of rescuing some desperately needy puppy mill dogs, both to help the dogs themselves, and to spread awareness of the horrors of mass puppy production.

The puppies you buy online are cute, but the parent dogs live lives of extreme deprivation, without the basics of love, comfort, attention, exercise, grooming and veterinary care. Their sole purpose in life is to produce as many puppies as possible. Once their breeding ability has ended, or the market for that breed or designer mix is saturated, they are disposable. Unwanted. Worthless. It’s the same for unsold puppies who fast lose their marketability when past the cute baby stage.

The several hundred puppy mill dogs we’ve rescued over the last few years have ranged from social (a small percentage) to absolutely shut down, unsocialized and terrified of human touch. Some are in acceptable physical shape, while others are filthy, matted and suffering from terribly neglected health conditions. We know almost nothing about the dogs coming to us now except their breeds, genders (mostly adult females) and approximate ages/weights. Most have never been on a leash or in a home, and most have never had a name, and are identified only by numbers.

Once the dogs are individually posted with names we will accept applications. Please wait to apply or send inquiries.

Making a difference one animal at a time.

It's a day for special mentions. To the people in my life that have chosen me to be part of their lives, as a dog groomer, as someone to care for their pet(s), present and past, knowing you have other options, I thank you, I appreciate it!
