Take the pledge today to raise awareness about rescue dogs and inhumane treatment at puppy mills.
Most people would never shop at a puppy mill if they saw how badly they treat their animals. So why do Americans buy over 2 million dogs per year from inhumane breeding mills?
Because puppy mills work behind the scenes, where shoppers never see them.
Puppy mills are third-party breeders that supply pet stores and online sellers with puppies. Millions of people buy dogs each year without ever knowing they’re indirectly giving money to cruel and crowded breeding mills.

Shoppers can unknowingly drive demand for puppy mill breeding.
To save money, breeders overcrowd small cages with as many dogs as possible.
Dogs in puppy mills often sleep, play and eat in their own waste.
Many puppies from mills suffer from long-term health and behavioral issues.
Each year, 2 million puppies are bred and sold from mills, while 1 million shelter dogs are put to sleep.

While the pet store and puppy mill industry thrives, rescue dogs have a hard time finding a home. That’s because many people believe they can’t find the breed they want at a shelter, or even that rescue dogs aren’t as good as dogs from a breeder. But this simply isn’t true.
