Tulsa World’s investigation into Oklahoma puppy mills continues

The Hunte Corporation is the largest puppy dealer in the U.S., selling 90,000 puppies every year to retail pet stores. Located in Missouri, the corporation’s facility receives puppies from independent, USDA-licensed breeders and then resells them to pet stores across the country. Hunte has been repeatedly quoted that by running the largest puppy-selling business in the country, he is following “God’s plan,” and is providing quality pets to families. Their motto is “Hunte: Doing What’s Right”
