Home... is where the dog is.
Welcome to brianalovesdogs.com. I am Briana, and I love dogs. I volunteer at the Plano Animal Shelter, and I am constantly surprised by the lack of awareness of the adopting public. I built this site to advocate for my best friends, and hopefully to educate my fellow humans to be come better doggy mommies and daddies.

if its so bad, why is it legal?
in most cases, puppy mills are not illegal.
most pet store puppies come from puppy mills.
USDA-licensed breeders are required to provide food, water, and shelter- but not love, socialization, or freedom from confining cages.

save life
the Hunte Corporation is a Missouri dealer which brokers more than 82,000 puppies per year for resale.
the bottom line is that responsible breeders do not sell dogs through pet stores, because they want to personally meet and interview the person who will be caring for their puppy.
