WHAT IS A PUPPY MILL?
Also known as a puppy farm, a puppy mill is an establishment that breeds puppies for sale, typically on an intensive basis and in conditions regarded as inhumane.
​
QUANTITY OVER QUALITY. WHAT?!
10,000
puppy mills
Are estimated to be active in the United States
194,000+
dogs
Are kept solely for breeding in USDA-licensed facilities. Sadly, a license is not a guarantee of a breeder’s quality.
2 MILLION
puppies
Are sold each year after originating from puppy mill.
