Us too. That's why we built Pawthenticity — a nonprofit transparency platform that compiles already-public information about breeders: ownership, license(s), inspections, violations, kennel size, breeds, and more.
Our goal is simple: an honest, transparent, and up-to-date resource for the dog community. 🐾
