       After watching puppy mill exposés recently aired on several major Wisconsin TV stations, citizens are demanding that our elected representatives do something about the miserable conditions in pet mills, pet shops and other pet facilities! Stricter regulation of so-called "pet mills" and "backyard breeders" may once again be within our reach, but we need your help to Get the Word Out!

Tiny blue paw print bullet point   Display a Window Sign:

Stop the Abuse window signs.       Many of you have been asking for "yard signs." We do not have the funds to have yard signs made...at least not right now...BUT we are making available a simple "window sign."

       Please download* this PDF and print on an eye-catching brightly colored paper, then hang in windows, front doors, at work, on bulletin boards, at your vet's office and in supermarkets, hand out at events, or use your imagination! Do remember "Please" and "Thank You" when posting signs in businesses and public places, though: Always ask the owner, manager, etc. if you may post the sign, and THANK him/her for supporting our campaign for a more humane Wisconsin!

Tiny blue paw print bullet point   Distribute Flyers:

Informational Flyer authored by one of our supporters.       One of our supporters has taken our "Contact Legislators" information one step farther. She put together a flyer that asks people "to remind legislators that there are more pet lovers than Republicans or Democrats," then tells them exactly how to do that! We thought this flyer would be a wonderful resource to share.

       Please download* the PDF and print on an eye-catching colored paper, then hand out at adoption events, garage sales, club meetings -- anywhere humane-minded people gather. Again, remember "Please" and "Thank You" when distributing these.

Tiny blue paw print bullet point   Print a Poster:

Where does the mother of that cute pet store puppy live?       This poster will hopefully make people stop and think about the living conditions of the parents of those cute pet store puppies. Inspired by signs created for the Petland Boycotts, our designer has created a "generic" version for use to raise awareness in areas that do not have Petland pet stores.

Dooley the mill auction throw-away wants YOU to help stop the suffering in puppy mills.Dooley wants you to vote for candidates who will stop puppy mills.Dooley wants you to ask candidates where they stand on puppy mills and let them know that it matters to you.Dooley wants you to ask candidates to stop the suffering in puppy mills.

       Dooley the Papillion was pulled from the 10 March 07 Thorp Dog Auction as being "unsellable" because he was so ill. Luckily, a rescuer was on hand to take him off the miller's hands, and now that he's discovered that there is more to life than misery, he's joined the fight against puppy mills.

     He's even commissioned some 8.5" x 11" Yankee Dooley posters that you may print, post on bulletin boards or windows, hand out at protests and fair booths and anyplace else you can think of, to Help Get the Word Out. He hopes his face will make you smile -- and that his message will make you think.

       Each of the four poster features "Yankee Dooley's" photo, a different "Stop the Abuse" or "Ask Candidates Where they Stand" message, and our URL for further information. Please click on the example above for the full-size pdf version of each poster, and on the link below to read more about Dooley.
