How to Find a New Dog Without Supporting Puppy Mills
Colorado Citizens for Canine Welfare can help you find a dog that comes from an animal shelter, rescue organization or responsible breeder—and avoid contributing to the abuse and neglect of dogs in puppy mills.
We believe that no dog should suffer for the sake of monetary gain and no dog should spend a lifetime in a wire cage without human love and affection. If that speaks to you, join us in our mission by donating to our cause.
Our mission is three-fold:
Public Education
We are involved in many efforts to increase awareness of the cruelty perpetrated by puppy mills and how to avoid unknowingly contributing to their financial gain.
Guidance in Finding a New Dog
We provide good alternatives through shelters, rescues, and responsible breeders. We want every dog to find a great home.
Animal Welfare Advocacy
We participate in many events that advocate for and spread the word about canine welfare.
