Thank You for Sponsoring Goldie’s Act (H.R. 349)
Dear Representative,
As your constituent, I want to thank you for leading Goldie’s Act (H.R. 349), which would protect commercially bred animals—like dogs in puppy mills—from cruelty. This legislation would strengthen Animal Welfare Act (AWA) enforcement and better protect animals in U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-licensed facilities from persistent abuse and neglect.
Goldie, the Golden Retriever for whom this legislation is named, suffered and died at a USDA-licensed facility because the USDA failed in its responsibility to protect her – and many other dogs at the same facility – from neglect. Hundreds of thousands of other animals in USDA-licensed facilities are still at risk. Goldie’s Act would ensure much-needed enforcement reform by requiring frequent and meaningful inspections, immediate assistance for visibly suffering animals, penalties for violators of the law, and cross reporting with local law enforcement.
Animal protection is a priority for me, and I appreciate you leading the charge to improve welfare for our nation’s vulnerable animals.

Thank You for Being A Lead Cosponsor of Goldie's Act
Dear Representative Nunn,
As your constituent and someone who cares about the welfare of animals, I am writing to thank you for being a lead cosponsor of Goldie's Act and for leading the fight to remove the "Confiscation for Unrelieved Suffering" provision from the 2026 House Farm Bill. At any given moment, a quarter of a million dogs are languishing in cruel puppy mills across the nation. Congress needs to do more to protect them. I appreciate your leadership on this issue and your commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable animals.
