Thank you Oprah!
Oprah’s message: Make animal shelters your first stop!
On your show today, millions of Americans learned that
99% of pet store dogs come from mothers with
â— Urine saturated matted fur
â— Untreated tumors, tooth decay, blindness
â— Exposure to the heat, to the cold, to flies and parasites
I won’t let my dollars help keep them that way.
Oprah also stated that you CAN find the dog you want in animal shelters and pet rescue! How? Visit RescueDirectory.com to find dedicated animal lovers in your area with pets waiting for your loving arms to scoop them up right now!
