Many people in Iowa are surprised to know that the state ranks in the top 3 in terms of the number of puppy mills.

So I was happy to get this email today stating that in the past 4 years, this number has gone from over 450 to less than 250.

There are 2 important walks on behalf of puppy mill dog this month.  The first is in Cedar Rapids on Sunday, September 15 and the second one is on Saturday Sept. 21 in Des Moines. They are both sponsored by Iowa Friends of Companion Animals.
