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.

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.

200% interest per puppy.

No. We aren’t exaggerating. Puppy selling stores use lending companies like EasyPay , WAGS lending and Lending USA which charge upwards of 200% interest per lease or loan in order to buy an already overpriced puppy.

It gets worse. In states where there are no legal protections, your puppy can actually be repossessed upon missed payment. And you are still on the hook for the loan or lease even if your puppy gets sick or dies.

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.

Puppy mills and puppy stores are profiting off of cute names and squishy puppies, while banking on the fact that the public won’t research before they buy.

For the love of dog, don’t buy a puppy without seeing where and how the parents live and always google the breeder. You should always avoid buying a puppy in a store as well. Giving money to puppy-selling stores, only keeps puppy mills in business. Or better yet, look for your next best friend at your local shelter or rescue!

Everyone loves puppies! But we should care about the moms and dads too. If you are bringing a new puppy into your family, please make sure that you research the breeder you are buying from. And don’t forget that your local shelter and rescue is FULL of amazing puppies, teenagers and adults who are looking for a family just like yours!

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
