"End Puppy Mills" by Jill Flinn $145

Artist Statement: "This series of photos includes just a few of the many dogs we have rescued. Once we get their health restored, their 'inner puppy ' can emerge. Several times we've rescued abandoned, pregnant dogs who are days away from having their litters. They all get their second chance at a good life, in a good forever home. Sadly, this is not so for those dogs in puppy mills. There is a puppy mill near us. It can be seen from the highway. At first they had rows of kennels jammed together, full of dogs. A week later, a tall, solid fence was wrapped completely around the place, concealing what would obviously generate complaints. But it also keeps the breezes from cooling these creatures on a hot summer day. It is heartbreaking to think that these creatures who give unconditional love so freely cannot be freed from this inhumane practice. If you truly love dogs, you'll never buy one."
