Breeder Watch Program
American Pet Cross believes that responsible breeding of all
animals ensures that animals of all types can be available
for many generations to enjoy their companionship and love.
American Pet Cross supports responsible breeding and
breeders. While we believe that the number of
good breeders far outnumbers the bad ones, we do know that
many abuses occur across the country in all types of
situations. Malnourished, overbred, ill-kept animals create
heartache and trouble for everyone involved with a
breeder who violates policies of decency and humaneness.
At American Pet Cross we are committed to
eliminating the bad breeders around the country and
establishing national standards for the breeding and
care of animals used for breeding. That’s why we
have established the American Pet Cross Breeder Watch Program to
help Americans report the situations where animals are being
kept inappropriately while being bred.
In order to report a suspicious breeder under the
American Pet Cross Breeder Watch Program, simply send an e-mail
to breederwatch@americanpetcross.net
and describe the situation, location, and identity, if possible,
of the suspicious activity. You may also send cell phone pictures
or videos of those situations. Your tip will remain completely
anonymous. Once we receive your tip we will contact the appropriate
animal control department in that particular jurisdiction. The
report will stay in our system until we receive a response from
the animal control department we have referred the case to.
Roughly 17,000 animals per day are
euthanized in the United States. While not all of these are
the result of irresponsible breeding practices, many of these
animals come from those situations because they are
abandoned, malnourished, sick, or diseased.
Take time today to help us identify and
eliminate those who would cause harm to animals in order to
profit.
