Where to Shop or Not 

Stores to AVOID

 

These are all stores that are currently selling cats and dogs. We are not making claims about the conditions the animals are being kept in, or where the pets are coming from. However, we ask that you not shop until they agree to stop selling cats and dogs in their store!

We are constantly adding more stores to our database.

Online stores and classified ads are bad too!

Don’t believe everything you see online or in the classifieds—a world of cruelty might be lurking behind that cute little puppy picture. If you think you’ve found the perfect breeder on a website showcasing adorable photos, claims of how they cherish their “furry babies,” and promises that they sell exclusively to “qualified homes,” be on alert—such websites are among the newer scams that puppy mills are running. 

 

Selling online and through classified ads allows puppy mill operators and backyard breeders to “cut out the middleman” and sell directly to consumers. It's more profitable, and it is completely unregulated.

But if you are buying a puppy please do your research and find a registered, reputable breeder.
