social issue: backyard breeding, puppy mills, "designer dogs", adopting dogs from shelters, etc

At first I wanted to address racism but it is such a broad topic that i felt like i needed to narrow down my idea for this project. I want to address racism in a future project.

The dog issue is something that is close to my heart being a dog lover. I was thinking of putting out a fake ad in the classified puppy section and making "missing dog" signs but for ones who had died because no one wanted them?? rough ideas i know but i need to do a brainstorming session with the group. While doing some research on the topic i have found out that there are tons of organizations that feel the same way i do! So instead of making up a new site/ blog, i'd just be their advocate and help spread the word. I came across some really awful pictures, that made me sick when researching. I don't think I want to go about the shock value direction.

I love my mutt!
