HB 1424 is an important step forward for Washington. This legislation protects both consumers and animals by ensuring that no new puppy-selling pet stores will be allowed to open and the puppy mill pipeline does not worsen in our state.

This achievement represents years of work and we are thrilled that our unwavering dedication to get this important legislation passed will have a positive impact for years to come. Thank you to all who have expressed your support for this bill throughout this process – we could not have done this without you! We are also extremely grateful for Representative Amy Walen and Representative April Berg for sponsoring this bill.

As always, we continue advocating for animals everywhere and are already planning ahead for next year’s legislative session. Thank you for your dedication to ending animal cruelty and supporting our work!
