**June 24, 2010: Good news, New York! The NYC Senate and Assembly passed the budget bill preserving the statewide spay/neuter program for low-income New Yorkers' animals. This humane legislation that will funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars annually toward this service has been signed into law by Governor Paterson.

Dog auctions are a little-known piece of the puppy mill puzzle. At these auctions, breeders sell dogs they no longer want to other breeders. Those who participate in these auctions typically run large-scale, commercial breeding operations where the primary motivation is profit rather than the well-being of the dogs.

The Ohio Dog Auctions Act would make it unlawful for any person to auction a dog in Ohio for any purpose. It would also prohibit bringing a dog into the state for resale if he or she was bought at an auction in another state. Sign the petition in support of The Ohio Dog Auctions Act!
