PUPPIES FOR SALE
 MADGE PACT has called for more enforcement of the laws governing dog breeders after they had to take in a puppy even though they were full. The puppy called Madge was bought by a 79 year old woman who answered an advert in a free advertisement paper. She paid £150 for the puppy but she was unable to cope with this naughty little terrier puppy. Her daughter contacted the seller to take it back but he failed to show up (no surprise there). She then contacted PACT who, although full, took Madge in so she would receive the veterinary care she needed, be vaccinated and re-homed properly.
 MADGE FEELING BETTER  ANOTHER LITTER OF UNWANTED PUPPIES ALL REHOMED BY PACT Anyone buying a puppy should always meet the puppy’s parents before buying to ascertain the breeding history. The misery experienced by the mothers that produce puppies like Madge is appalling. Kept in small cages for a predominance of their lives, they are just breeding machines producing one litter after another until they can no longer cope and then they are discarded, being replaced by another more productive bitch.  FOUND WANDERING JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS IN THE FREEZING COLD. NOW IN HIS NEW HOME The trade is callous and cruel. EVERYONE who buys a puppy from a pet shop, newspaper, or online without seeing the parents and paperwork (where applicable) is contributing to this misery and often gets a sickly puppy and very substantial veterinary bills. Some puppies go on to develop long term health problems and an early death due to interbreeding by these unscrupulous breeders. Always ask which vet the breeder uses. Breeders are not allowed to home puppies until they are at least 8 weeks old and if the breeder produces more than five litters of puppies for sale in a year they are legally obliged to apply for a license from their Local Authority. Anyone in breach of these conditions can be fined or imprisoned. RALPH ANOTHER PUPPY TAKEN TO THE VET TO BE PUT TO SLEEP DUE TO OWNER NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET VETINARY BILL FOR A BROKEN LEG PACT has a ‘no kill’ policy so any animals coming into the sanctuary are safe for the rest of their lives. Before getting a puppy take a little time to go and visit your local sanctuary and see these unfortunates and you might just find a wonderful companion who has already learnt a lot of the skills required to live with humans.
