the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS)

In May, the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act was introduced to bring all commerical dog breeders under federal oversight. Right now, only breeders who sell dogs to brokers or pet stores are required to be licensed and inspected by the USDA - it's time to close this loophole!

Tell Congress to support the PUPS Act »

If passed, the PUPS Act would require any breeder who sells or offers to sell more than 50 dogs annually directly to the public - including over the internet - to also be licensed and inspected. Monitor all commercial dog breeders »

The bill would also require all dog breeders licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act to exercise every dog, every day, including allowing the dogs to reach a running stride without the use of treadmills or similar devices.

Sign this petition to help pass the PUPS Act! »
