Puppy Mills 101

Countless dogs are bred for profit and kept in cruel conditions just to keep the puppy industry in business. Learn how this shadowy industry works and how it hurts dogs.

More Puppies, More Profits
There’s a reason the retail pet industry doesn’t show you where its puppies come from. To turn a profit, corners need to be cut, which means poor care for dogs in puppy mills.
The Puppy Pipeline
Who gets the puppies from the breeder to the pet stores? Between points A and B, there’s a lesser-known side industry at work that perpetuates and profits from animal cruelty.
