This Friday night, March 27, ABC's Nightline will be investigating puppy mills!
The show will air at 11:35 pm (Eastern Standard Time).

ABC Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi and investigators from Nightline travel the
byways and back roads of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - visiting numerous
puppy mills and filming Main Line Animal Rescue's volunteers as they rescue
breeding dogs and puppies from Lancaster County's notorious Amish commercial
breeding facilities.

This promises to be a very special program. If you are involved in rescue,
advocate on behalf of the millions of puppy mill dogs interned in our nation's
commercial dog breeding facilities, or if you just simply love animals, you will
not want to miss this.

Sharyn Alfonsi interviewed, on camera, an Amish breeder while touring his
facility - a first for network television. With approximately 500 dogs housed on
his property, this commercial breeder speaks openly about an industry cloaked in
secrecy and suspicion - the cruel factory farming of man's best friend.

It has been almost one year since Oprah's puppy mill show aired. That program
received the highest viewer response of any Oprah Show in years. Now we need to
spread the word about this very special Nightline. Only by educating as many
people as we can, will we be able to help these animals. And after you watch the
program, please don't hesitate to contact ABC and Nightline to thank them for
casting such a strong light on the plight of our nation's puppy mill dogs.
