Help Shelter Animals Get a Chance in Pet Stores!

The Issue

Help petition the State Government of Colorado in the defense of our shelter animals! We propose a statewide licensing requirement for pet stores to to offer 60% of their animals from local shelters. Shelters are overcrowded and we hope this requirement will help more animals get loving homes! We also hope that the drop in demand for animals from non-shelter sources will prevent overbreeding. If the current system continues more and more animals will be left without a home. More animals will be over bred which will only add to the issue of overcrowded shelters. Please help these animals who can't help themselves!
