Puppy Mill Free Minnesota

12/02/2025

Our nonprofit has created the largest database of licensed breeders (and how they sell!) in the country. We are tracking 5,000 licensed breeders and more than 50,000 unlicensed puppy-sellers across the country, so we can answer questions from advocates and potential puppy-buyers!

Our research changes perspectives, changes policy, and changes so many lives.

Thank you for being a part of our work!

Bailing Out Benji just released our latest project! Check out our interactive search engine 💙

We are thrilled to announce our new search engine that allows the public, advocates, and policymakers to instantly do their research into licensed dog breeders across the country! The online search tool is a companion to our database where we are currently tracking 4,445 licensed dog and cat breeders, as well as thousands of unlicensed facilities and canceled licenses.

You can view our search engine and methodology here:

Why is this important? Because our unique research shows that:

[41%] of the licensed breeders we are tracking have state or federal violations in the last 5 years.

[36%] of the licensed breeders who supplied pet stores in the last three years had state or federal violations.

[42%] of the licensed breeders we have found to be supplying online brokering websites had state or federal violations.

It is often easier for the public to find a puppy mill or inhumane breeder than a responsible one! While inspection records only show one part of an operation, until now it was nearly impossible for anyone to access state records or even know how to access the USDA. We want our search engine to be one tool in the toolbox in the fight to end puppy mills by helping consumers make responsible purchases.

Please support our work today, so we can continue doing the research that matters! The dogs can't thank you, but we can 💙
