In May, the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act was introduced to bring all commerical dog breeders under federal oversight. Right now, only breeders who sell dogs to brokers or pet stores are required to be licensed and inspected by the USDA - it's time to close this loophole!
Tell Congress to support the PUPS Act »
If passed, the PUPS Act would require any breeder who sells or offers to sell more than 50 dogs annually directly to the public - including over the internet - to also be licensed and inspected. Monitor all commercial dog breeders »
The bill would also require all dog breeders licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act to exercise every dog, every day, including allowing the dogs to reach a running stride without the use of treadmills or similar devices.

Dear Animal Advocates,
As you may already know, there is a large loophole in the federal law concerning USDA oversight of large-scale commercial dog breeders (known as “puppy mills”). Currently, breeders who sell to brokers and pet stores have to be licensed by the USDA, while those who sell puppies directly to the public do not.
Introduced in Congress in late May, a bill called the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act will bring all commercial dog breeders in the United States under federal oversight by requiring any breeder who sells or offers to sell more than 50 dogs annually to the public—including over the Internet—to be licensed and inspected. The bill will also require all licensed breeders to exercise every dog daily.
The PUPS Act is extremely important humane legislation that will improve the lives of thousands of dogs across the country. We hope we can count on your support to help us get it passed.
What You Can Do
Now more than ever, it is vital that members of Congress hear that puppy mill reform is important to their constituents. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to email your senators and representative to urge them to support and cosponsor the PUPS Act.
Thank you for your continued support of the ASPCA and our nation’s animals!
