About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Currently, the Animal Welfare Act allows large, commercial breeders who sell puppies online and directly to the public to escape licensing and regulation. The Puppy Uniform Protection Statute (PUPS) Act would close this egregious loophole and would also require regular exercise at breeding facilities.

Please sign below to ask your Congressmembers to co-sponsor and support the PUPS Act. For more information, please visit:

Please Co-Sponsor the PUPS Act

Dear Members of Congress,

I respectfully urge you to co-sponsor S. 3424/H.R. 5434, the Puppy Uniform Protection Statute (PUPS) Act. This important measure will close a loophole in the Animal Welfare Act that currently allows large, commercial breeders who sell puppies online and directly to the public to escape licensing and regulation. In addition, this bill will require regular exercise at breeding facilities.

Puppy mills are among the most inhumane prisons imaginable. Helpless dogs are treated as literal puppy factories, forced to endure birth after birth without rest, exercise, proper nourishment, or basic veterinary care.

The PUPS Act's edicts are modest, reasonable, and deserving of your full support. Thank you in advance for co-sponsoring S. 3424/H.R. 5434 and working toward its swift passage.

Appreciatively,

[Your name]
