California could soon make history as the first state in the country to ban all puppy mill pet store sales. Assembly Bill 485 has been passed by lawmakers and will now head to Governor Jerry Brown, who has until Oct. 15 to sign or veto it. Find out how you can help make sure this legislation becomes law!

Show your support for the campaign to end puppy mills by joining our friends at Hearts United For Animals and the Lincoln Animal Ambassadors this Mother's Day, for a picket to honor the mothers of the pet store puppies. Help put an end to substandard commercial breeding facilities that operate with an emphasis on profit above animal welfare.

When Keaton, a young Shepard mix, initially came into the shelter, he was unable to use his front limb.

The bullet has shattered the bone and surgeons are now fighting to try and save his leg from amputation.
