In commercial breeding facilities, also known as puppy mills, dogs are bred and sold for profit with zero regard for their safety, health or happiness. They are abused. They are scared. They are neglected. It’s all at the hands of cruel breeders, and the laws in place to protect dogs are straight up ignored.

Glimpse Inside a Puppy Mill

Steve Kruse of Stonehenge Kennels built a massive business breeding and brokering dogs in his Iowa puppy mills. Over the past 30 years, he has accumulated a long and troubled history of documented animal care violations.

Read MoreDogs in his care have suffered from infected wounds, skin and ear infections, severely matted fur, broken teeth, inflamed gums, untreated injuries and more. Despite his repeated violations and killing 199 dogs in one day, the USDA continues to issue Kruse licenses to breed and sell dogs.

Sadly, this is just one example of the cruelty and abuse that happens DAILY in puppy mills across the country.
