No Puppy Mill Pledge

XO PUPS’ No Puppy Mill Pledge: Humane Puppy Breeders

At XO PUPS, we’re committed to ethical breeding and responsible pet adoption. As humane puppy breeders, we stand by our no puppy mill pledge, so every puppy grows up in a healthy, loving place. Puppy mills put profit ahead of the animals and often keep them in poor conditions. At XO PUPS, however, we do things differently. We believe every puppy deserves love, care and a happy start in life.

Our Commitment to Ethical Puppy Breeding

XO PUPS has a zero tolerance policy toward puppy mills and unethical breeding practices. We work only with licensed, regulated breeders who follow established humane care standards. These breeders give their puppies proper veterinary care, early socialization, clean living spaces and responsible daily care, all of which support healthy growth.

To keep our standards high, we also visit breeders in person to check that they meet our requirements. That way, we know every puppy comes from a caring home where its health and happiness come first. So when you choose XO PUPS, you support responsible dog breeding and bring home a puppy that grew up with love and attention.

What Our No Puppy Mill Pledge Means for You

Our pledge isn’t just words on a page. For example, we give breeder information to every family, so you know exactly where your puppy came from. Our breeders also hold licenses and pass inspections. If you’d like to see how breeder licensing and inspections work, the USDA Animal Welfare Act program is a helpful place to start. You can also read what our pledge means for families on our blog.

Why Choose XO PUPS?

  • Ethical breeding practices: We work only with breeders who meet high welfare standards.
  • Veterinary care and health: Every puppy receives medical checkups and vaccinations.
  • Socialization and training: Puppies grow up in loving environments, which helps them settle smoothly into their new homes.
  • Transparency and trust: We provide complete information about our breeders and their ethical standards.

Adopting a puppy is a lifelong commitment, and we want you to bring home a happy, healthy pet. To learn more about our trusted breeders, visit our Breeder Page.

My husband and I came in to visit to look at the puppies and options they have. They gave us a good amount of time to get to know a puppy, but we had another puppy in mind too. They did a great job with handling customers. The staff quickly wanted to know the purpose and how serious we were on buying before they gave out a second puppy, which I understand. However, we were interested but this also turned us off. The puppies were individually confined which is not great environmentally and socially for them. (My opinion, but to each their own.) Otherwise, it was not bad of an experience. I will come back. Just things to consider. We will keep them in mind for a specific breed only.

We had a great experience at XO with our first dog so it was a no-brainer to return when we were looking to add another puppy to our family. We had an equally great experience the second time around, and happy to find another perfect match.
