<div>Honey Paws is dedicated to protecting breeding dogs and ending the cruelty of puppy mills through awareness, advocacy, and direct support for any rescue organization that supports this mission.  Puppy Mills are a huge business, generating upwards of $1B with very high profit margins, and they must be regulated.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Your support helps provide medical care, rehabilitation, and for dogs in need. In addition, we work with state legislatures and the USDA to enforce existing guidelines on how puppy mills are run, as well as create better ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We launched in 2026 by the men and women of Greater Honeycomb.  They wanted to expand Greater Honeycomb's mission to include some of the most voiceless among us: dogs trapped in puppy mills. These breeding dogs often live in debilitating conditions and are mercilessly discarded once they are no longer profitable.  Honey Paws raises awareness around puppy mill practices, protecting breeding dogs and their pups,  and advocates for improved protections.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The inspiration came from grassroots leaders like Grace Kelly of Finding Shelter, who for 15 years has rescued and rehabilitated over 10,000 dogs from puppy mills. Organizations like hers operate under immense financial strain, relying on donations and volunteers to fund medical care, foster networks, awareness efforts, and safe housing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We build and manage branded online storefronts that generate ongoing revenue, handling product design, technology, fulfillment, and marketing. Each storefront becomes an awareness engine, turning supporters into advocates who share the mission simply by wearing or gifting the products.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition, we build custom swag stores for corporations where a portion of every purchase supports Honey Paws, or a specific partner organization. Companies can offer branded merchandise with profits funding animal rescue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally, we lobby the USDA and state legislatures so that they pass rules and laws to improve conditions of these breeding dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help us help the defenseless animals - our best friends!
