BILLBOARDS
One of the ways that we use to increase awareness is through billboard advertising. Most Americans don’t know about puppy mills, so education is critical to ending the supply and demand.
EVENTS
Over the past year, our volunteers attended public venues to promote awareness, attended municipal zoning meetings pertaining to establishing or expanding kennels, and spent time researching, fundraising and much more. We had a feature article in Lancaster County Pets magazine and one of our volunteers participated in a public radio show to discuss puppy mills.
Listed below are events we attended in 2017:
April – Pet Fest at Clipper Stadium, Lancaster
May – Debella Dog Walk in Green Lane, PA
June – Roslyn Pet Fair in Roslyn, PA
July – Pride Festival of Central PA, Harrisburg
August – Mt. Gretna Outdoor Summer Craft Market, Lebanon
