NO SALE

First of all, NEVER get a puppy or kitten from someone selling them in a parking lot. NO reputable breeder would find homes for their animals that way. These animals come from puppy mills or bad backyard breeders. ALWAYS see where your new pet has been living.

Karen sent me news that she and Nancy O have been monitoring this activity in Bemidji. These "give away" and "puppies for sale" are intact and contributing to the over-population of companion animals at Red Lake.

Colleen has been working on a campaign to end selling and giving away animals in the parking lots of the Target and WalMart stores in Bemidji. She made a couple of phone calls and wrote letters. Already there are results, Target has put on their property where pups were being sold, not one, but THREE signs that say "no sales or soliciting".

Isn't that great!!! If you ever see this practice, contact the business to protest. Make a difference.
