Gov. Doyle signs AB-250 into law.

       THANK YOU, WISCONSIN, for doing undercover investigations, authoring articles, sending photographs, circulating and signing petitions, protesting in rain and snow and hot sun, raising funds and donating services, helping get the word out about puppymills and lending moral support when we suffered setbacks. Thank you for your thousands of emails, letters, and phone calls to your legislators, letting them know that puppymills are NOT OK with YOU!

       And to our legislators -- THANK YOU for listening, for hammering out a workable bill that addressed the concerns of all factions, and for your unswerving support to make this bill a law.

       For a little while, "philosophical differences" were put aside as ALL animal lovers in Wisconsin worked together to make this 12-year-long dream for dogs a reality!

       This section of our website details the history of AB-250/SB-208, from concept to Gov. Doyle's signing. Please use the links on the left to learn, in detail, "how we did it."

       NOTE: Act 90/ S.173.41 outlines the facts of the law, but it is the Administrative Rules that make the law enforceable. The Administrative Rules defines the details of Standards of Care, how licensing will work, etc. Please see our Administrative Rules section for that process, including texts and summaries of the final rules.

In memory of PeaBuddy, whose short life inspired the founding of the Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project.
