Volunteers are critical to our continued
work and success, and are empowered to become effective
advocates. Your involvement speaks for thousands of the
innocent mistreated Pennsylvania dogs that cannot speak
for themselves.
In efforts to effectively bring about change in the commercial
dog breeding industry (puppy mills), UAPM's work is
directed through three dedicated and distinct groups:
zoning, legislation and public awareness. We invite you to
explore the functions of each group to determine which best
matches your own talents and interests. Please volunteer and
help to end the cycle of cruelty today!
If you'd like to help us
in any of these areas, please download a volunteer
application (
PDF
format or
MS
Word format). You can
email the filled

Your Money at Work
United Against Puppy Mills utilizes many
forms of advertising to publicly educate and to bring about
change for dogs, and the cost is high. For example, billboards
cost approximately $2,000 per month depending on location and
size and posters at train stations and on bus routes cost
about $1,000 per month. Print ads range from $250
to $1000 per month. Brochure printing averages $600
per 5000 and mass-mailing costs run $3,500 per 10,000 households.
Costs to set up a booth at Pet Expos and other events across
Pennsylvania range from $50 to $300 each.
Donate Goods and Services
Among other things, we are always in need
of postcards, paper, envelopes, printing services, special
event posters, signs and banners, UAPM logo merchandise,
free office space and office equipment, event-related
goods and services. Please contact us to discuss your
donation in advance, thanks!

Spread the Word!
A large part of our mission is to
educate the public about the places from which far too
many dogs come and the conditions that exist in those
places. If we are successful, perhaps puppy mills as
we know them today will no longer exist.
Help us with this goal by spreading the word far and wide:
- Tell people what you know about the puppy mill problem
and direct them to this site.
- Print copies of our brochure and distribute them*.
- Download, print and distribute copies of our
latest (Fall 2008) newsletter (PDF
format).
- Request a Speaker for your
next event.
*You may order brochures in
quantity for handouts or to place in local stores, shops,
vet offices, etc (with owner permission). We can provide
a brochure holder if needed.
