Though we now
have a great law for licensing dog breeders and sellers in Wisconsin, we're not
finished yet -- and still need your financial support as much as
ever!
Since 1999, the
Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project has been working hard to educate the public about
the miserable conditions in pet mills, pet shops and other pet facilities.
Through our programs and services we have also provided education to law makers
and fought for tougher state laws to govern the breeding and sale of pet
animals of all species.
Thanks
to YOU, our efforts have succeeded and a new law has been passed in Wisconsin
(2009 Act 90).
But
OUR WORK has just begun. Sadly, there are still abuses; there are still dogs
needing our help. Some commerical breeders have found or created
"loopholes" to evade regulation; some have even gone
"underground". Some licensed breeders may only "spruce up"
when an inspector is expected.
With your
help, Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project will be there to continue the fight to close
up those loopholes and ferret out the "underground" breeders, brokers
and sellers as well as to lend our support to other critical animal issues,
such as the use of dogs to hunt wolves in
Wisconsin and the expansion of Act 90 minimum standards of care to ALL dogs in
Wisconsin -- not just those in the care of licensed dog sellers.
Everyday we help
animal shelters, humane societies and individual animals in need on a case- by-
case basis. From spay/ neuter and other veterinary costs for
"surrendered" dogs from commercial breeders -- adults who are past
their breeding "prime" and older puppies that did not sell -- to aid
to shelters overburdened by confiscations from animal cruelty cases, 100% of
your donation will be used toward direct care of rescued animals for vet bills,
food and other related expenses!
The
Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project is a 501(c)3 registered non-profit, and your gift
is tax deductible.
