Summer is a time of rest and relaxation for many of us, but there has been no lull in our fight to end puppy mills. We have made real progress in our campaign to stop inhumane dog breeders who mass-produce puppies for sale through third-party outlets like pet stores and online sites that allow their cruelty to remain hidden. Heres a roundup of recent wins:

Many other states and localities are considering humane pet store laws or breeder regulations, and well be working to support them in any way we can. New York is poised to become the sixth state to prohibit the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores, with legislation headed to the Governors desk. We will also continue to lobby support for the Puppy Protection Act in Congress which will help improve the quality of life for puppies living in large-scale breeding facilities. To find out more about how you can become involved, contact your state director or follow us on social media. By working together to educate the public and secure better legal protection for dogs, we can hasten the day when puppy mills are little more than a bad memory.
