Federal Puppy Mill Bill needs your support!
Right now, the PUPS bill which is S. 3424 & HR 5434 which is the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety Act needs your support.  This provides much needed regulation and 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. 
Email or call our congressmen now in support of this bill.
Click here to act now.  Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to email your senators and representative to urge them to support and cosponsor the PUPS Act.
 
Horse Rescue in Wayne County by HSUS

You must watch this incredible video of a recent equine rescue in Wayne County West Virginia. HSUS led by our new State Director, Summer Wyatt came to the aid of 50 starving and neglected horses, mules and donkeys. This neglect had been going on for years with no relief for these animals. Finally, with the assistance of HSUS, this cruelty has ended. Our thanks goes out to Summer Wyatt and HSUS!
