WASHINGTON, July 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) hosted "Howl to the Hill" on Capitol Hill to rally support for Goldie's Act (H.R. 1788), which would ensure the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) does its job to protect dogs in federally licensed puppy mills. Named in honor of a Golden Retriever who suffered and died at a USDA-licensed puppy mill in Iowa, Goldie's Act would require the USDA to conduct more frequent and meaningful inspections, provide lifesaving intervention for suffering animals, impose penalties for violations, and communicate with local law enforcement to address cruelty and neglect.

Key Points: 
  • 1788), which would ensure the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) does its job to protect dogs in federally licensed puppy mills.
  • One of those dogs – Holly, a 2-year-old Pomeranian-Husky mix – was also in attendance at "Howl to the Hill," serving as the event's official ambassador dog.
  • "As a pet owner, I can't imagine my dogs being subjected to the inhumane conditions found at many licensed puppy mills.
