101 Puppy Mills: A Sampling of Problemed Puppy Mills in the United States by the HSUS

101 Puppy Mills: A Sampling of Problem Puppy Mills in the United States

The Humane Society of the United States

Document Type

Report

Publication Date

2014

Abstract

The goal of the report is to inform consumers about widespread problems with puppy mills before they make an uninformed purchase that could potentially support animal cruelty. The report includes puppy mills from 22 states, but because most of the dealers sell online or to pet stores, their puppies could be available to unwary consumers in all 50 states and beyond.

The breeders and sellers on this list represent common issues with puppy mills and puppy mill brokers. This report is not a complete list of all puppy mills, nor a list of all problematic facilities. For more information on the methodology used in preparing this report, please see the Methodology section on page 29.
