The Puppy Mill Project
Ending puppy mill cruelty through education, outreach, and advocacy

22 dogs from South Suburban Humane Society – November 2017

South Suburban Humane Society rescued 50 dogs from an area puppy mill.  Twenty two of the dogs required dental work, which The Puppy Mill Project funded.

Highlight

Pet Project BookThe Chicago Pet Project is a beautiful coffee table book filled with images of notable Chicagoans and their beloved pets. All proceeds go to Millie’s Mission, a fund created to pay for the veterinary costs of rescued mill dogs. Preview some of the photo shoots and purchase your copy here.

Get the Facts
A breeding dog's cage only needs to be six inches larger than her body.
There are an estimated 10,000 puppy mills in the United States.
Over 2 million puppies are bred in puppy mills each year.
Around 3 million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters each year.
It is legal for a breeding dog to spend her entire life in a small wire cage.
Approximately 25 percent of the dogs in shelters are purebred.
The Pet Store Myth

When you buy a puppy in a pet store, it does not save that puppy. It perpetuates a cycle of cruelty and supports the puppy mill industry.
