Pincause has fought for human rights, gender equality, and the importance of science -- and now the pin-making activist team is raising money to stop puppy mills across the U.S. 。

The couple behind the pins is spreading the message that people should adopt dogs instead of getting them at shops that source animals from the mills. 。

Many of those dogs live in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, and can be beset with health problems, the ASPCA says. 。

Pincause teamed up with animal protection organization the Humane Society of the U.S. and, for every pin sold, $2 goes to the organization's "Stop Puppy Mills" campaign.。

Pincause raised more than $160,000 through other pin campaigns in the past year and the team hopes to raise more funds and awareness for this new cause. Since launching the #adoptdontshop campaign earlier this month, the group has raised more than $2,400.。

Thanks for signing up! 。

The latest pin featuring a colorful paw print is designed by Penelope Dullaghan, the artist behind Pincause's previous pin campaigns. 。

Many dogs -- call them puptivists -- are sporting the pin and supporting the fight to shut down puppy mills. This pug had this to say about puppy mills:。
