Puppy Mill Free Kansas

08/13/2024

We knew Kansas has a lot of unlicensed breeders, but our state is the top 5 puppy-producing state for the website Puppies.com

There are currently 67,019 puppies for sale on Puppies.com with more than 15,000 active breeder profiles. Most of those puppies are coming from breeders in Texas, California, Florida, Missouri and Kansas.

Our team is currently doing an audit of all of the breeders who sell through Puppies.com to determine if they hold the proper licensing for their state or federally so we can file all of the complaints. We will share a short list of some of the more concerning facilities that sell through this site as well. While that massive project will take time, we will continue to share pieces of information that we learn with you all!

Please do your part in helping us put an end to the cruel puppy mill industry by reminding your friends, family and coworkers that it is easier to find a puppy mill online than it is a responsible breeder. Do your research before you buy, read the inspection reports, read the reviews, visit the parent dogs in person and don't forget to reach out to your favorite researchers at Bailing Out Benji with any questions or concerns! Don't forget that there are amazing animals waiting for you at your local rescue or shelter too- including many purebred and made-up mixed breeds!

If you are able to support our work, please consider making a donation! We are a small organization that isn't afraid to take on big projects like this, if it means we can discover and put an end to inhumane breeding operations.

We just released our quarterly USDA violation report, which depicts dog and cat breeders across the country who have been found to be in violation of the federal Animal Welfare Act.

Not only does Kansas have facilities that appear in the report, but one of those facilities received 14 violations in one day!

Puppy-buying season is here

Don’t put cruelty on your shopping list! The public is funding the puppy mill industry every time they buy a puppy without meeting the parents. In order to avoid this cruel industry, make sure you research BEFORE you add a new pet to your home, and don’t forget to look at your local shelter or rescue for your next best friend.

What does feeding time look like at your house? Twice a day? Healthy, measured food in a clean bowl?

This is feeding time in a puppy mill. A week's worth of food is put in this red box and is expected to last. Puppy mill owners will do anything to limit how much time they have to actually spend with the dogs in their “care”.

This is what the public supports when they buy a puppy from a pet store or a click-and-ship website.

Pet stores don’t admit to using puppy mills- it’s bad for business!

So we took the time to research over 350 pet stores in the US (so far) and connect them to the puppy mills they use and make it public.

They are the same dogs.
They have the same feelings.
They have the same pain tolerance.

Yet, in the eyes of the law, they are treated very differently.

The USDA will do anything to protect puppy mills. Not only did they take away the public’s right to see public inspection reports on these facilities before they buy, but they also allow puppy mills to change license numbers to hide from previous violations.

Who does this secrecy protect? The consumer? The dogs? No... It protects the puppy mills.

The USDA says that within breeding facilities, the cages dogs live in only need to be six inches wider and taller than their body. So long as the dog can stand up, turn around and lay down it is considered adequate space.

What do you think? Is that enough space for a dog to live happily it’s entire life?

It is according to the puppy mill industry that you are supporting when you buy a dog from a pet store or from a newspaper or website without meeting their parents!

Do your research, visit the facility and always reach out to us with any questions! Or better yet- Opt to Adopt
