Spread the word
On this page you can find free promotional material that you can use to spread the word about cruelty to animals, raise awareness, and ask people to do something about it. The more people know about these issues, the sooner they will be resolved to help so that dogs can truly become man's best friend rather than not man's profit making commodity suffering in cages.

A simple link on your website, MySpace profile, Twitter account, etc. to Donate To Dogs can help many more people find our site where they can learn about ways to help dogs in need. It doesn't cost you anything and it only takes you minutes to add the link. Here's our linking information. Thank you everyone for your help!
Word of mouth
This is the obvious method: tell everybody you know about the horrible conditions in puppy mills. Patiently educate them and ask them to tell their friends what they heard from you. Nobody would buy dogs from pet stores if they saw images from a typical puppy mill and knew how dogs were treated there. This is why we need to tell everyone what really is happening.
