While the weather was a tad brisk on Saturday, it did not stop Allie Francey and Syndey Hemming from joining the Sarasota Animal Advocates in their protest against cruelty perpetuated by puppy mills.
Both girls, aged 13 gave up their Saturday to help with important cause. Protests were held on Fruitville Road in front of Petland, and on Tamiami Trail in front of PuppyTown. If you are looking for a new dog or cat to add to your family, please visit a local shelter to find the pet that is waiting for you.
