Puppy Farm Awareness Day 2025

Remembered on March 23 National Puppy Day aims to raise awareness of the dogs who continue to suffer in puppy farms.

Puppy farms - or mills - are arguably one of Australia's largest causes of animal cruelty.

While the conditions and veterinary care may vary at different puppy farms the reason for them is the same to intensively breed dogs.

These animals are fed and given water but are otherwise often denied even the most basic animal-welfare right.

FOUR PAWS

FOUR PAWS has long campaigned for an end to puppy farms and credits the demand for 'designer dogs' as a reason for the ongoing trade.

Ideas

Spend the day with your pooch Take them for walks a swim or have a play at the local dog park.

Adopt or foster a puppy in need If you're ready to take on the responsibility of having a puppy adopting or fostering one is the best way to go. Check out your local shelters and rescue organisations to find a pup in need of a loving home.

Support an animal charity If you aren't in a position to adopt or foster there's many other ways to show your support. Why no donate to or volunteer at your favourite rescue organisation? Animal shelters are always in need of volunteers to assist with feeding cleaning and even walking the dogs.

Host a puppy playdate with all your favourite people (and their pets!)

Encourage others to support National Puppy Day by sharing your photos and messages on social media.
