Dr. Jeff Young always visits places that need veterinary help. One time he went to a shelter that specializes in rescuing puppy mill dogs. He brought his grandson and a veterinary technician named Jes.
The three of them met a woman named Theresa, who runs a shelter called the National Mill rescue. She showed Dr. jeff around, and they got to take a look at the different puppies that were housed there. During the tour, Dr. Jeff saw different dogs in such pitiful states.
After looking around, Theresa showed the vet where he will be conducting the surgeries. Dr. Jeff was there to neuter and spay the dogs. His grandson, Angel, was there to see what it’s like and hopefully be inspired to do good things for animals as well.
Dr. Jeff began surgery on several dogs. Theresa made sure the vet was working as efficiently as possible. Whenever Dr. Jeff asked for the next dog, they were ready with them. The vet worked tirelessly for the entire day and had finished surgery on numerous dogs by late afternoon.
Angel learned a lot from observing his grandfather. Theresa was also very grateful for the vet’s service. Theresa will continue to do her job, and until puppy mills no longer exist.
Dr. Jeff also gave his opinion about puppy mills and the people running those operations. He thinks that only morally and ethically bankrupt people run puppy mills. The dogs there are subjected to abuse and neglect. Most pet owners who buy from a pet shop don’t realize that most dogs there are from puppy mills.
Animal rights advocates and rescuers alike always tell people to adopt from shelters. There are millions of rescued dogs out there who are waiting for a home. If people stop supporting unethical dog breeders, they will cease to exist.
