The mission of the Puppy Mill Rescue Team, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, is to rescue discarded dogs and puppies from puppy mills, and place them with ethical rescues. These rescues then will care for their veterinary needs, house them in volunteer foster homes and eventually adopt them into loving families. The Puppy Mill Rescue Team also works to educate the public about puppy mills and supports efforts to eradicate the existence of the inhumane mass dog breeding facilities commonly known as puppy mills. The Puppy Mill Rescue Team promotes choosing pet adoption, over purchasing online or from a pet store, as the vast majority of those are sourced by puppy mills.
