Please make rescue pets the official symbolic pet of the United States.

The Issue

I am 9 years old. I think pets rescued from shelters or abusive homes should be named the official state pet of the United States. I think this would help bring attention to homeless animals, and show that America is serious about ending this problem.  I am one of your constituents, please draft a bill to make this happen! This will really help the shelter animals get adopted. 


Please help!
