Stop Online Puppy Mills and BISSELL Pet Foundation are two sister-founded nonprofit organizations working to improve the lives of dogs. Founded by sisters Janie Jenkins and Cathy Bissell, the organizations approach animal welfare from different but complementary directions.
Two Sisters, Two Organizations, One Shared Passion for Dogs
Stop Online Puppy Mills, founded by Janie Jenkins, educates the public about puppy mills, commercial dog breeding, and the online puppy marketplace. Our work helps consumers understand where puppies come from and how their purchasing decisions can affect breeding dogs.
BISSELL Pet Foundation, founded by Cathy Bissell, is dedicated to helping shelter pets and the organizations that care for them through adoption programs, spay and neuter initiatives, emergency response, and other lifesaving efforts.
As sisters, Janie and Cathy share a lifelong commitment to improving the lives of dogs. Their organizations address different parts of the animal welfare system through education, prevention, shelter support, adoption programs, and public awareness.
