BROOKDALE PARK, NEW JERSEY

Looking forward to another successful year.
Check back soon for more details.
Sound for the Hounds Concert 2012

Much thanks to the many rescues, shelters, sponsors and vendors who helped to make the first annual Sound for the Hounds Awareness Concert the tremendous success that it was.   We couldn't have done it without you and together we DID raise awareness about the plight of the breeder dogs trapped in commercial breeding kennels.  Together we will continue to make a difference for these dogs and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Take a look at some of our reviews.

Jenny Stephens - North Penn Puppy Mill Watch
Long time Pennsylvania companion animal advocate Jenny Stephens is the director of North Penn Puppy Mill Watch, a grass roots organization dedicated to raising awareness about the "Pet Shop/Puppy Mill Chain of Abuse."  Her message to "Be Their Voice" via the group's Saturday pet shop demonstrations, as well as the many articles she's authored to keep advocates up-to-date about issues affecting dogs trapped in high volume commercial breeding kennels, have been an inspiration to many.  In addition to her work with NPPMWatch, she serves as a board member for United Against Puppy Mills.
Bill Smith - Main Line Animal Rescue
Bill Smith is the founder of Main Line Animal Rescue. Bill has dedicated his life to fighting "puppy mills", the warehouses where dogs are raised for profit in tiny cages, denied sufficient medical care, and often killed when they get sick or can no longer breed. Bill has appeared on nationally televised shows providing much awareness and education on puppy mills. Check out the following from Main Line Animal Rescue

Tanya Foster from News 21 has been running a story this summer on Puppy Mills in Central Pa.
Reputable Breeder or Puppy Mill? There are several ways to tell them apart

Puppy Mills...
  • Usually have several breeds of dogs for sale, keep a lot of dogs and always have a lot of puppies.
  • Often offer to ship dogs to new owners.
  • Sell puppies over the Internet and in pet stores.
  • Do not require an application or references from people buying a puppy.
  • Usually will not allow customers to view their property or kennel.
  • Don’t ask buyers to return the dog or contact them if the owners cannot keep the dog.
  • Do not typically screen dogs for genetic defects.
  • Simple... If you don't see the puppy's mom don't buy the puppy.
