What is a puppy mill?

Any commercial dog breeding facility can be considered a puppy mill. A puppy mill's sole purpose is to produce puppies as inexpensively as possible for maximum retail profit, often disregarding living standards and basic medical care.
How your purchase may contribute to the problem

Your purchase of a mill puppy (often billed as "farm-" or "family-raised" or purchased in pet stores) continues the cycle of cruelty by putting more money in the pockets of those involved, allowing the profit to be reinvested into the business so that the breeding continues.
Adding a dog to your family?

Make adoption your first option! Finding what you're looking for at a shelter or breed-specific rescue is simple and rewarding.

If you MUST use a breeder, research first. Read our recommendations for finding a reputable breeder.
