Approximately 250 dogs and puppies rescued from alleged cruelty at two puppy mills in Milburn, Oklahoma.

The breeders each advertise that they sell their dogs at the notorious Dog Alley flea market in Canton, Texas, which has been the subject of multiple animal welfare investigations and complaints over the years. This market allows unlicensed, uninspected breeders to sell animals directly to the public in dismal conditions. Investigations have revealed breeders selling puppies from filthy, overcrowded, tiny wire cages in close quarters with farmed and exotic animals.

“Puppy mills sell puppies to unsuspecting consumers who, misled by the AKC stamp of approval, assume the puppies are healthy and from a reputable, caring source. This situation underscores why families who choose to buy from a breeder cannot rely on AKC registrations or other endorsements—they must insist on visiting the facility in person to see the reality of the living conditions,” said John Goodwin, senior director of the Humane Society of the United States’ Stop Puppy Mills campaign. “Whether selling puppies through a pet store, online or at a notorious flea market, operations which place profits over the well-being of dogs will continue to perpetuate unthinkable suffering.”
