Protect Dogs from Cruel Puppy Mills!
June 2,2021
The Puppy Protection Act would amend the Animal Welfare Act to require significant improvements to the standards of care required for licensed dog breeders.
Large-scale commercial dog breeders who sell to pet stores, brokers, or online sight-unseen are required to obtain a USDA license, undergo regular inspections, and comply with standards of care defined in the Animal Welfare Act.
The Puppy Protection Act would provide a stronger standard of care and treatment for commercial dog breeding operations throughout the country, and ensure that dogs raised in these operations are healthier and better socialized.
