Missourians for the Protection of Dogs

Missourians for the Protection of Dogs is a nonprofit comprised of numerous individuals and animal welfare organizations, including the Humane Society of Missouri, the Missouri Alliance for Animal Legislation, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Best Friends Animal Society, Animal Rescue Foundation, and The Humane Society of the United States.



About the Issue

At puppy mills in Missouri, dogs are crammed into small and filthy cages, denied veterinary care, exposed to extremes of heat and cold, and given no exercise or human affection.  These puppy mills are cruel and the way these dogs are treated is wrong.  Prop B will stop puppy mill abuses by establishing common sense standards for the proper care of dogs.  The Humane Society of Missouri and many Missouri veterinarians and veterinary clinics across the state support the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act.
