I want to report a puppy mill or other illegal or inhumane breeding operation. Who should I call?

Each locality's Animal Control Department has officers who are hired and trained by the government to investigate cases of cruelty and neglect, including puppy mills and breeders. Please contact your local office immediately if you suspect that an animal is in danger.

The Humane Society of the United States also has an active puppy mill investigative unit.
