Along with the Best Friends Animal Society, we ask you to contact your congressional representatives and urge them to vote YES on the PUPS bill.

Currently, the Animal Welfare Act requires only that commercial dog breeders have a U.S. Department of Agriculture license to sell wholesale to pet stores and brokers. If puppies are sold through classified ads, the Internet, etc., they don’t even have to provide minimal care for their dogs.

Again, please contact your representative and urge a YES vote on the PUPS bill.
