Across America, shelters are full, and older dogs are often overlooked. There's an old saying, “You can't teach an old dog new tricks.” This is far from true. Older dogs have “been there and done that,” and they are eager to please and just want love and a safe home. We hope this video encourages you to adopt or foster a twilight dog. #doglovers #adoptanolderdog #seniordog #seniordogs #seniordogsofinstagram #seniordogsrock #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #adoptdontshoponline
We’ll keep this brief. 🐕All puppies sold online come from backyard breeders or puppy mills, and the same goes for those sold in pet stores.
It’s important to remember that not every breed is suitable for everyone. At Hands2Paws, we’ll help you find the perfect breed for your lifestyle and then direct you to the appropriate breed-specific association website.
It’s really that simple! Avoid the common mistake that 90% of Americans make when searching for a puppy. @hands_2paws #PuppyLove#PuppyAdoption #ChooseRescue

❤️ As wildfires ravage our landscapes, countless animals are caught in the crossfire, taking all these innocent creatures. Let us come together, not just to mourn them, but to pray for peace for all wildlife lost in these horrific fires.✨

🚨 Attention Dog Owners! Your Flat-Faced Friends Need Extra Care! 🚨
With the recent fires affecting air quality in California, our beloved brachycephalic pups are at greater risk. 😢 Their unique anatomy makes them more susceptible to smoke and pollution. By taking these precautions, you can help protect your flat-faced dog during this time of poor air quality. Stay safe!

"Behind the cute faces and wagging tails lies a troubling truth. 🐾🚨 Are we unknowingly supporting puppy mills while searching for our puppies? The AKC marketplace needs a serious update to protect both pets and potential pet parents. 💔🐶 #AdoptDontShopOnline #PuppyMillsExposed #demandbetter #akcmarketplace #puppymill #puppymillsurvivor #puppymillrescue #educateyourself @humanesociety #responsiblepetownership #animalworld #mathias777dogs #puppymillcruelty #cognitivedissonance #showdog #showdogs
🐩🐕Breed shaming isn't the solution. Where are the animal welfare organizations or the AKC? They aren't providing the necessary education to the public, so Hands2Paws is stepping up to fill that gap. We understand all about rescuing, but people must stop 📲purchasing pets online and from pet stores. Laws must be updated, and new ones must be created to regulate backyard breeding. Until that happens, it's up to ALL of us to educate each other. #StopBreedShaming #RescueCrisis #EducateNotShame

We don't want to spoil anyone's Sunday with distressing news, so today's list will be short. Iowa should take a hard look at its actions, but they won't. That is why we need social media platforms like Instagram to create such a title wave of intolerance that mainstream media notices, and then we will see change. Be prepared to get pissed when reading this post. @puppymillfreeiowa @iowa_news @dmregister @cedarrapidstourism @qctimes @nametheoffenders #iowa.ags @repwesterman

This highlights the flaws in the system and underscores the need to eliminate the USDA's oversight of breeding. Horrible breeders can simply change their names and addresses to obtain new licenses, and they often create stealth kennel names to continue selling their animals online. @petlandusa @petadvisorynetwork @braunforindiana @inhousedemocrats @indiananewsdaily @pacers @toddyoungin @indiananewsdaily @indiananews01 #indianabackyardbreeder
We can only say, “She's still selling puppies online”. PLEASE spread the word @nametheoffenders. You should be outraged since the cycle of a dog ending up in a shelter starts here. Join our movement to get mainstream media to talk openly about the crisis. @chicago @brandon4chicago @dick_durbin09 @senduckworth @nationalmilldogrescue @wbbmnewsradio @abcnews @bailing_out_benji #backyardbreeders #illionispuppymills #removetheusda @agkwameraoul @humanesociety
