We’re making every breeder inspection public and free
Pawthenticity is a free, nonprofit registry that turns official USDA and state inspection reports into clear profiles — so families can easily check the facts before getting a puppy.
Every breeder, fully documented.
A complete profile pulls together every public record about a breeder — USDA inspections, state inspections, Horrible Hundred entries, pet store connections, and a documented litter history — all in plain language.
Every donation is tied to a real cost.
We’re a small, volunteer-run nonprofit. No money goes to salaries. Here is what specific amounts pay for:
Become a Founding Sustainer
A small monthly gift is the most useful kind of support we get. It pays for the steady costs — hosting, records fees, legal fees — that keep the registry growing month after month.
Toward a Wikipedia of dog breeders.
Inspection records are where we are starting — not where we are stopping. Our long-term goal is the most complete public record of dog breeders in the country.
Every state covered
Every public inspection report from every state, free for anyone to read.
Litter history
Volunteers log puppy listings for an accurate record of breeder volume.
DNA verification
DNA kits sent to buyers. Results posted for all to see the breed and health of the pups.
