Bark For Life and Puppy Mill Awareness Week

On Sunday, April 18, the Athens County Humane Society participated in Bark for Life, a relay benefiting the American Cancer Society. The Bark for Life committee allowed all adoptable ACHS dogs to walk free of charge. Stuart, Bonnie, Speck and Mister represented ACHS, sporting “Adopt me” bandannas during the walk.


All of the dogs did extremely well and were given the chance to become more socialized with the other dogs involved in the walk. Representatives of ACHS were able to hand out information about puppy mills and the Bark for Life committee collected donations of dog food on behalf of the Humane Society.

The Humane Society also had Puppy Mill Awareness week. Tables were set up at College Gate with information about puppy mills and the adoptable dogs available. Some of the adoptable dogs also made an appearance. We were able to hand out a lot of information and hopefully reached a lot of people about the horrors of puppy mills.

  1. If you are set on buying a puppy please download and read, “How To Buy A Puppy” before you consider parting with your money. It is free at www.howtobuyapuppy.net

    Buying a puppy without problems is harder than most people think. Finding a responsible and knowledgeable breeder is very difficult.
