In 2019, there were 407 registered dog breeders in Lancaster County housing close to 53,000 dogs. Fast forward to 2021, where with the internet sale of puppies skyrocketing, Lancaster County now has 424 registered dog kennels housing close to 60,000 dogs.

Most people have heard the words “puppy mill” and have an idea puppy mills are something bad but most do not truly understand what puppy mills are. A puppy mill might have as few as 15 dogs or they could be as large as over 500 dogs.

Mills rarely provide any vet care, leaving parent dogs living with illness and painful chronic conditions for years.
