If you could help prevent animals from being abused by making a few phone calls, would you do it? If so, this is the meeting for you! Join animal lovers from across Pennsylvania for this exciting meeting!
Currently, three bills are being considered in the state House that would strengthen dog and animal cruelty laws in Pennsylvania. House Bill 2525, H.B. 2532 and H.B. 499 are focused on ending puppy mill abuse in PA and increasing fines for animal cruelty. On September 15th, the House will reconvene and now it is more important then ever that PA animal lovers unite to speak on behalf of the dogs! Come to the public meeting and learn more about how YOU can help millions of Pennsylvania's dogs!
Speakers:
Representative Bryan Lentz
Tom Hickey, Sr., a member of the Pennsylvania Dog Law Advisory Board
Howard Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, PSPCA
Bill Smith, Founder of Main Line Animal Rescue and recently featured on Oprah!
Jessie Smith, Pennsylvania's special deputy secretary for Dog Law enforcement
Nicole Wilson, Executive Director, Delaware County SPCA
Meeting attendees will be able to participate in a question and answer session with the panel!
Cat Lovers - while this meeting is mainly dog oriented due to the House Bills, we would not dream of leaving the cats out! The Philadelphia Community Cats Council will have a table with information on adoptable cats as well as information on how you can help them with their spay/neuter efforts.
Animal Welfare Groups Participating:
Reach Out for Animal Rights, an advocacy group working to educate the public on animal mills and spreading the word about the pet store-puppy mill connection.
ZACH ALERT, a PA organization assisting in the safe and timely reunification of lost pets and their families and educating the public on how to keep their animals safe and out of the hands of those who can harm them.
Daisy's Delights Barkery and Boutique will be on site selling their preservative free, great tasting and healthy treats, bones and cakes, for your furry companions. Daisy's Delights products are all natural, and made with human-grade ingredients.
Refreshments will be served!
If you are unable to attend the two-hour meeting but are interested in helping in the fight, please stop by Borough Hall between 1-3 to speak to the advocacy groups outside and pick-up a handbook that will provide details on what YOU can do!

some one please look up affairweatherkennels.com and go look at these dogs. there's got to be 75+ dogs and puppies there, some with growths on their sides and some with what looks like their eyes are popped out. please go look at these pups undercover and see what you think.
My husband and I have been to affairweatherkennels. It made me want to cry! In fact we wanted to look at the father of a pup we were interested in but she didn't want us to follow her to her kennel. Well.....my husband doesn't know the word! We followed her and boy! What a heartbreaker! None of the dogs had food or water and the poodles had hair hanging over their eyes. Needless to say, my husband gave it to her!!
I talked to the dog warden about her kennel and she said that she passes by the skin of her teeth! I also breed dogs but they are in our home with food and water at all times, it breaks my heart to see these dogs not getting the love they deserve!
