What is a puppy mill? A puppy mill is a dog breeding operation where profit and production are prioritized over the health and welfare of the dogs.
Stop Online Puppy Mills educates consumers about puppy mills, online puppy sellers, puppy brokers, breeder red flags, and the importance of meeting the mother dog before buying a puppy.
Before you buy, look beyond the puppy. Know who bred the dog, visit the breeder in person, meet the mother dog, and see where and how the breeder’s dogs live.
Explore our resources on puppy mill red flags, online puppy brokers, responsible breeders, and how to meet the mother dog before buying a puppy.
Since 2014, Stop Online Puppy Mills has been dedicated exclusively to educating the public about the online puppy marketplace. We help puppy buyers understand the commercial dog breeding industry, the puppy mill pipeline and how puppies are sold online. Puppies are adorable, puppy mills are horrible.
