What is a puppy mill?

Some breeds are so popular that traditional breeders just aren’t able to keep up with demand. Puppy mills are unethical operations that step in to fill that demand by “factory farming” dogs. At mills, dogs are treated as dollar signs instead of living animals—and it shows. Mill dogs often suffer from higher rates of dangerous and sometimes deadly genetic diseases.

How do I avoid puppy scams online?

We’re here to create an extra layer of peace of mind—you won’t find any puppy mills here.
