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 sharing information 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.

Please Co-sponsor Goldie’s Act (H.R. 349) to Protect Dogs
Dear Representative,
As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to co-sponsor Goldie’s Act (H.R. 349) to protect vulnerable animals from abuse and neglect. Right now, hundreds of thousands of animals are languishing in U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-licensed facilities--such as cruel puppy mills--because the agency is not fulfilling its responsibility to protect them. Goldie’s Act is bipartisan legislation that would strengthen Animal Welfare Act (AWA) enforcement to better protect animals under the USDA’s watch from suffering.

USDA-licensed facilities are not inspected with regularity, and some go years without an inspection. Even when facilities are inspected, current USDA policies prevent certain violations from being documented. And when violations are documented, the agency rarely takes action, allowing non-compliant facilities to operate with impunity and animals to suffer. 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 sharing information with local law enforcement.
Animal protection is a priority for me, and I urge you to help these vulnerable animals by co-sponsoring this critical bill.
Please Help Protect Dogs and Other Animals from Suffering
Dear Senator,
As your constituent, I am writing because I am deeply concerned that hundreds of thousands of vulnerable animals are languishing in U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-licensed facilities--such as cruel puppy mills--and the agency is not fulfilling its responsibility to protect them. I urge you to take action by cosponsoring Goldie’s Act, when it is reintroduced in the Senate, to strengthen Animal Welfare Act (AWA) enforcement and better protect animals under the USDA’s watch from suffering.
