Harrisburg, Pa. - Advocates continue to call to the legislature to be "a voice for Pa.'s pups." Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and advocates including Second Lady Gisele Fetterman, State Sen. Judy Schwank, and State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski are asking their legislators to support Senate Bill 232 and House Bill 526. The bills, if passed, would slightly increase dog licensing fees, which have not changed in over 25 years. Licensing fees are the source of funding for the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, which cracks down on illegal puppy mills and kennels, ensures the health and welfare of dogs living in breeding kennels, performs inspections on licensed kennels, investigates dog bites, monitors and tracks dangerous dogs, investigates attacks on livestock and compensates farmers, and shelters and reunites lost dogs with families.
