Massachusetts: Take Action for Animals by Supporting the PETS Act!
Action for Massachusetts residents only.
Urge your Massachusetts legislators to support the strongest version of An Act Promoting Pet Equity, Treatment, and Safety (S. 3028/H. 5589), known as the PETS Act.
The PETS Act is an omnibus bill that would help prevent animal suffering and help keep companion animals together with their families.
The bill aims to prevent the sale of puppy mill-bred animals in pet stores, halt cruel and unnecessary animal cosmetics testing, expand access to pet-inclusive housing, and support spay/neuter and vaccination services for homeless dogs and cats. The bill passed the Massachusetts Senate in March 2026 and the House in July 2026 and is now in a conference committee working to reconcile differences between the two versions, including the pet store sale ban.
Urge your Massachusetts legislators to help push the conference committee to include the strongest protections in the final PETS Act!
