A puppy mill is a dog breeding unit run by backyard breeders purely for making a profit. Puppy mills or puppy farms have no regard for the welfare of dogs. They exploit dogs and breed them in sheds and deprive them of love and even basic care.

Simply put, a puppy mill (also called a puppy farm) is a dog breeding facility that focuses on producing as many puppies as possible with no regard for the dog’s mental or physical health.

With the demand for puppies skyrocketing, puppy mills exist in every nook and corner of India. Since profit is their motive, puppy mills don’t provide any care for their dogs.

They operate like mini-factories that continually focuses on producing more and more puppies. To keep their costs low and reduce their overheads, they don’t care for their dogs. Once the female dog stops producing, the puppy factory discards them to the street. Unsold puppies also face the same cruel fate, life on the streets.
