 California's SB 250 - The Pet Responsibility Act

Each year, over $250 million dollars is spent housing and euthanizing homeless dogs and cats in California. Approximately 1 million dogs and cats enter California’s shelters each year, and over half of them are euthanized primarily because there are not enough homes.

IDA's Dr. Elliot Katz calls Senator Dean Florez's new spay/neuter bill "wonderful news, a historic step to help end the terrible killing of so many animals. Hopefully this will pass quickly and be a model for the nation."
