Hey there, kiddo! So, have you ever seen a lot of puppies for sale in a store or on a website? Well, sometimes these puppies come from something called a puppy mill.
A puppy mill is a place where people breed a lot of dogs in small, cramped spaces. These dogs usually live in cages all day and don't get a lot of exercise or love. The people who run puppy mills often don't take good care of the dogs, meaning they might not get enough food, water, or medical attention.
These dogs are bred over and over again to have lots of puppies, which the people at the puppy mill sell to make money. Because they don't really care about the well-being of the dogs, puppy mills can be really bad places for dogs to live.
That's why it's important to do your research before buying a puppy. Make sure you're getting your new furry friend from a responsible breeder or from a shelter where dogs are treated with care and love. That way, you can give your puppy a happy, healthy life.
