Puppy Mill Awareness Day

Puppy Mill Awareness Day falls each year on the third Saturday of September. The day draws attention to a particular problem affecting dogs, such as theft, unsafe breeding or poor living conditions. It asks everyday owners to think about how they buy, protect and care for their dogs. People might mark the observance by checking ID tags and microchip details, tightening up home and garden security or learning how to spot and avoid bad sellers.
