Wisconsin Federated Humane Societies has taken a strong stand against puppy mills in the state of Wisconsin. WFHS has joined The Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project, A.W.A.R.E. and Fox Valley Humane Association in calling for a boycott of the Petland store in Appleton because the store sells puppies from puppy mills. WFHS is also supporting the passage of state laws that will regulate the ever-growing number of puppy mills in our state.

The foremost source for information on the puppy mill issue in Wisconsin is www.nowisconsinpuppymills.com. WFHS encourages its members to visit this website to learn more about the puppy mill issue, learn how to identify quality breeders, and get up-to-date information on pending legislation affecting mass breeding.
