Did Oprah's Puppy Mill Show Have Any Impact?

Someone remarked this week that her local shelter had adopted out more dogs since Oprah's show on puppy mills aired and she wondered if there was a connection. Good question! Has anyone noticed this at there local shelter? Could there be some sort of new trend or at least a spurt of interest?

Sadly, too few cats, especially older ones, are adopted and they, too, deserve a good home. Of course too few dogs are adopted as well.

I hope that Oprah's program has made a difference and I hope she will revisit this topic from time to time. And as I posted on my PerPETuallySpeaking blog, I hope that she will talk more about responsible breeders.
