About Stop Online Puppy Mills

Founded in 2014, Stop Online Puppy Mills a tax exempt non profit.

Our mission is to raise awareness and educate the public, exposing the truth about puppy mills and the online puppy mill industry. We educate consumers about deceptive online breeders and puppy broker websites that sell dogs from cruel, high-volume, commercial dog breeders also known as puppy mills.

We advocate for change through outreach, digital campaigns, search and retargeting advertisements and social media platforms interrupting puppy buyers, educating them before they buy, so they can make better choices.

Our goal is simple: end puppy mills.
