Pet shops sell puppy mill puppies that are often sick and unsocialized. Staggering vet bills and behavioral issues can force customers to abandon their animals at shelters. Puppy mill dogs live in filthy, overcrowded cages and don’t receive proper veterinary care. Pet shops or brokers purchase puppies from puppy mills. Brokers and transporters ship puppies across the country in trucks, vans, and planes to pet shops. Puppy mills mass produce dogs for the pet shop industry. The abandonment of pet shop dogs leads to overcrowding in shelters. Consumers fall for the puppy in the window, often paying thousands of dollars for a dog.

Puppy Mills Are Commercial Breeding Facilities that mass-produce puppies for resale to the pet shop industry. They are generally filthy, overcrowded, and the dogs living in them don’t receive proper veterinary care. The breeding dogs in mills spend their entire lives in wretched confinement, exposed to the elements. At the end of their reproductive years, they are usually killed, often by cruel means. Half a million puppies are born in puppy mills every year.
