NEWS:  

ClosePuppyMills.com proudly collected nearly a THOUSAND signatures via paper petition last year!  Thanks to all of the kind people who signed at our events.  We have forwarded those "Petition to End Puppy Mills" signatures to Tom Vilsack at the USDA. The USDA is responsible for the inspection of kennels & the enforcement of humane laws for the dogs lingering in these filthy kennels.

Progress !!

People are finally waking up.  Six states have now banned the sale of dogs and cats in their pet stores:  Maine, California, Maryland, Illinois, New York and Washington!  Also, 450 localities in the US have banned the sale of puppy mills in their stores! 

          ___________________________________

Missouri is the Puppy Mill Capitol of the country with more torturous puppy mills than any other state in the country.  Not coincidentally, the largest puppy mill BROKER, The HUNTE Corporation, is also located in Goodman, Missouri.  It's estimated that they buy approximately 2000 puppies a week, from puppy mills, and then sell them to PET STORES  (including PETLAND) all over the country.  The puppies are loaded into the backs of trucks (with NO windows) and many innocent puppies have died at the hands of The HUNTE Corporation, some from truck fires and some from heat exhaustion in NON air-conditioned trucks. 

Please check out the inspection reports for:

The HUNTE Corporation

121 N. Royhill Blvd., Goodman, MO 63843 ...

USDA license #43-B-0123.

See the violations for yourself.

  ** YOU can help these suffering dogs!

We are definitely making progress in the fight against puppy mills but we have a long way to go.  Every single person can help in this fight by NOT buying a puppy from a PET STORE, the INTERNET, a FLEA MARKET, NEWSPAPER ADS or "NICE FARMERS"!! 

These are the ways that the puppy millers sell their puppies to the unsuspecting public.

   PENNSYLVANIA .....  

   THE PUPPY MILL CAPITOL OF THE EAST

                                 COAST!          

        

  If you think that you are driving up to Pennsylvania to get a puppy from a "nice farmer" and his "pet" dog..THINK AGAIN !!!!! Pennsylvania is loaded with "FARMERS" who OWN puppy mills.  So very many people are fooled into thinking that they are NOT puppy millers but in fact .. THEY ARE ! 

People always say "but he said he is a BREEDER".  Well ... puppy millers ARE  "breeders"!  That is exactly what they are. 

It doesn't matter how NICE you think they are...they have hidden dogs who are suffering everyday only for the sake of making this "nice person" some money.

A dog is killed in a shelter every 7 SECONDS in this country and only because they are so massively overcrowded.  Please give one of these dogs a chance at a loving home.  The only crime they are guilty of is not being able to find a home.

Shame on Pennsylvania! 

PLEASE do not give these people your money for a puppy so that they can continue their "business" and continue and keep these helpless dogs in daily torture!  

               THANK YOU from those who have no voice!
