Cheers to the more than 200 people who held hands on Saturday, Sept. 20, forming a Human Chain through Novi to help stop Puppy Mills. Animal welfare groups (including HSHV volunteers!), veterinarians, groomers and area businesses came together to educate the public about puppy retail sales and their link to puppy mills. Novi is Michigan’s “Puppy Retail Capital” with two big box puppy stores. Petland is located in the Twelve Oaks Mall and is our nation’s largest retail chain importing an average of 80 puppies a month. The Family Puppy is located in Fountain Walk across the street and is Michigans largest retailer of puppies with three remaining stores. Learn more about their suppliers on our partner, Puppy Mill Awareness of SE Michigans website.
