TAKE ACTION

1. Sign petition
Tell the Blaine City Council to
Stop the Puppy Mill Pipeline to Blaine, MN

By signing the petition, you are opposing puppy mills and the pipeline to pet stores. You are asking the Blaine City Council to support a humane pet store ordinance which will prohibit Blaine pet stores from buying dogs and cats from puppy mills and instead "go humane" - selling pet supplies and products and working with rescue groups to host adoption events. (Only one pet store in Blaine continues to buy from puppy mills; all other Blaine pet stores have voluntarily chosen to go humane.)

Even if you don't live in Blaine, you can still sign the petition. This issue is bigger than just one city. Pet stores that buy and sell dogs from puppy mills and promote the puppy mill industry also sell to people who live outside the city.

By signing, you are giving us permission to email you with updates and action alerts about the proposed ordinance. 
2. Contact the Blaine City Council

If you live in the city of Blaine, please contact the Blaine City Council members and ask that they support a humane pet store ordinance to end the sale of puppy mill puppies in Blaine pet stores.
