We invite you to join us in supporting a vital petition aimed at enhancing the protections for dogs and cats sold in pet stores across our county. Our furry companions deserve safe and humane treatment, and by uniting our voices, we can advocate for better regulations that ensure their well-being.

Your support can make a significant difference in promoting responsible pet sales and improving the lives of countless animals. Together, we can create a community that prioritizes compassion and ethical practices in the treatment of our beloved pets.

1) We request an increase in the legal space requirements for animals to be at least twice their size.  (Photo pictured: CURRENT REGS UNDER USDA THAT PWC FOLLOWS) 

2) We also urge the prohibition of wire caging, which can cause injury to their paws.

3) Additionally, we advocate for the opportunity for animals to evacuate from their cages three times a day, daily access to fresh water, and a temperature-controlled environment to safeguard them from extreme heat or cold.

4) Furthermore, we call for the establishment of official records regarding their disposal and veterinary records. 

 Please consider signing our petition and spreading the word to friends and family! Thank you for your commitment to creating a brighter future for all animals in our Prince William community!
