VIDEO : Model Ireland Baldwin Wants You To Bring Home A Dog For Christmas

Who wouldn?t love to bring home and adorable dog this Christmas? Model Ireland Baldwin has teamed up with The Humane Society of the United States to urge her fans to adopt a shelter pet this holiday season. A passionate advocate for animals, Baldwin is asking her fans to consider adopting a pet, as most pet store puppies come from puppy mills, and puppy millers pose as small, local breeders online. Puppy mills are inhumane, commercial dog-breeding facilities where dogs are typically kept in small wire cages for their entire lives, are given very little food and water and often do not receive veterinary care. They are usually bred continuously and are discarded or killed when they can no longer breed anymore.
