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.
