Don’t Let Puppy Mills Set Up Shop in Orange County!

Special Exceptions for Puppy Mills

ASPCA Position: Oppose

Update—May 5, 2023: VICTORY! You helped prevent puppy mills from invading Orange County, Florida! On Thursday, May 4, the Orange County Board of Zoning Adjustment considered a proposal that would have allowed the construction of a new commercial dog-breeding facility in Orange County—despite a county law that prohibits the retail sale of dogs. Thanks to YOUR voice, the Zoning board denied the proposal.

We believe construction of a dog breeding facility would be contrary to the intent of that law and stand by Orange County animal welfare advocates who fought to protect dogs from puppy mills. Thank you for taking action!

For more actions you can take to help animals, join the ASPCA Mobile Action Team! We’ll keep you informed of important, breaking news for animals in Florida and beyond.

Subject NO Puppy Mills in Orange County!

Hello,

Message

I am a resident of Orange County asking you to reject any special exception requests for a commercial dog-breeding kennel in our community.

The Board of Commissioners approved a retail pet sale ban in 2021 to prevent puppy mill cruelty from profiting in Orange County. Approving a new mass-breeding operation would violate the spirit of this ordinance, contradict the wishes of your constituents and open the door for puppy mills to move in.

Please help prevent inhumane businesses from setting up shop in our community. Orange County needs your humane leadership in the ongoing fight against animal cruelty. When a special exception request for a commercial dog-breeding facility comes before you, please VOTE NO!

Respectfully,
