The unseen victims of puppy mills are the mother dogs who are forced to live their entire lives behind bars – without exercise, without socialization, without ever being part of a family or even seeing the outside of their cages.

Help HSUS continue to track down and fight organizations that support puppy mills. Watch the shocking video and make a generous donation today. >>

The Humane Society of the United States has released the results of a shocking investigation showing that pet store chain Petland is the nation's largest retail supporter of puppy mills. Their national, eight-month investigation shows that Petland stores in multiple states are marketing dogs from cruel puppy mills to unsuspecting dog buyers.

Most of the puppies bred at puppy mills are eventually sold over the Internet or through pet stores, including many Petlands in the US.

HSUS is committed to stopping puppy mill cruelty, but they can't do it without your help. Please watch the video today and make a donation to help.

Hundreds of puppies from massive commercial breeders in Missouri and other states in the Midwest are packed into filthy, crowded cages. The video shows the pure terror that the animals feel when they have no space to run and no contact or affection.

Your donation to HSUS will be used exclusively to stop puppy mills. And you can give with confidence -- HSUS is a four-star charity (the highest possible) according to Charity Navigator.
