Spay/neuter ordinances are a proven way to humanely reduce the animal population in a community. We commend the Walker County Board of Commissioners for passing mandatory spay/neuter legislation. https://t.co/15CIa3WejH

Colorado has become the 9th state to ban the sale of commercially bred dogs and cats in pet stores—helping to shut down the “puppy mill pipeline.”

This is a major step forward in ending puppy mill cruelty and encouraging adoption.

Two bills in the New York State Legislature (Senate Bill S09808 & Assembly Bill A05340) could soon provide a tax credit for your dogs and cats. https://t.co/mmCQwJUwMu

Brazil just approved a new law allowing shared custody of pets for separating couples.

This follows a growing trend in several U.S. states (including Alaska, California, Illinois, New Hampshire, and New York), where courts already consider the pet’s “best interests” and well-being in divorces, sometimes awarding joint custody or visitation. Brazil’s law builds on that same recognition that pets are family!

Update on the Beagle Bill (SB 381) 🐾

I want to share an update on the Beagle Bill, an important piece of bipartisan legislation to protect dogs and cats used in experimentation.

The bill passed the Pennsylvania Senate unanimously (50–0) and is currently awaiting action in the House Judiciary Committee, where it must be voted out before moving to the full House for consideration.

I will continue to monitor its progress and support efforts to move this important legislation forward so animals used in testing are treated humanely and given the opportunity for adoption whenever possible. 🐶🐾
