 New Jersey Consumers Against Pet Shop Abuse (NJCAPSA) is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) consumer and companion animal advocacy organization working to raise public awareness about the connection between pet stores and puppy mills. We help buyers with complaints against pet stores, breeders and other pet dealers, including Internet sellers, puppy resellers and brokers, and inform consumers of their rights under the New Jersey puppy lemon law. We also research breeders, with an emphasis on Pennsylvania's Amish and Mennonite puppy mills and consult with experts and fact checkers in the fields of puppy mills, veterinary medicine, cruelty investigation, and animal behavior. These professionals provide their expertise and guidance to help us in our investigations and casework. NJCAPSA is often called upon by NJ cruelty investigators, veterinarians, attorneys, local zoning and health department officials to provide thorough, up-to-date information on pet dealers and brokers.
There is no charge for our services or educational materials, although donations are greatly appreciated and are fully tax deductible.

The Wrong Puppy
Why the focus on Pennsylvania puppy mills? For years NJCAPSA has tracked the state’s breeders and paid close attention to the state’s puppy mill problems primarily because almost half of New Jersey’s pet shops purchase their puppy inventory from Pennsylvania mills. Sick puppies bred in PA puppy mills adversely affect consumers in both NJ and the tri-state area and add to the already burgeoning workload of NJCAPSA volunteers who deal with consumer complaints on a daily basis.
