As we enter 2025, we cannot waiver in our mission to obtain legal protections for our companion animals. Supporting The P.A.W.S. Doctrine will help protect all furry, feathered, and scaled companions, by:
- Ending Outdoor Living & Chaining for Dogs & other Companion Animals
- Providing Additional funding for Animal Shelters
- Enhancing Definitions & Strengthening Penalties for Animal Hoarding, Neglect, Abuse, & Cruelty
- Providing Incentives for Guardians to License/Register their Pets
- Establishing Supports for Guardians via Pet Pantries, and Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Programs & Medical Clinics
- Empowering Courts to Rule in Favor of the Animal’s Best Interests in Custody Cases & Estate Disputes
Here’s What To Do:
1. Read The P.A.W.S. Doctrine carefully.
2. Complete your State Petition by answering three simple questions (name, email, & state of residence) to add your signature.
3. Share, share, SHARE!!!
Together, let's send a clear message to Congress:
P.A.W.S. for Change because Pets Are Family, Not Property
