Massachusetts Lawmakers Push PETS Act: New Bill Targets Animal Cruelty, Promotes Shelter Adoptions

The PETS Act, a new bill in Massachusetts, aims to strengthen protections for dogs and cats by tackling animal cruelty and encouraging shelter adoptions. Key provisions include banning pet stores from selling dogs and cats directly, promoting adoptions from shelters like the MSPCA, and allowing pet ownership in state-aided public housing. The bill also prohibits home insurers from rejecting policies based solely on a dogs breed. Animal welfare groups are thrilled about the Senates progress, expecting a surge in shelter visits as people opt for rescues over retail.
