Where can I find a list of known puppy mills?
A. For many reasons, the SDPM web site does not publish a list of known puppy mills. There are literally thousands of puppy mills in existence all over the country, and most of them are not required to register with any one agency. There are so many unregulated puppy mills that to publish a list of the known or “problem” mills may give the public a false impression that any establishment that is not on the list is “safe.” Nothing could be farther from the truth, however. In fact, some problematic puppy mills have been known to change their names and locations frequently to evade their reputations. ATTENTION: If you know or suspect a breeder or breeding facility who is neglecting or abusing their animals please contact your local S.P.C.A. and/or Animal Control Agency immediately. Questions regarding our web site or about the Puppy Mill industry? Please contact us. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have and will respond to your question(s) as soon as possible.
