I just read an article and didn't realize that the Senator that came up with this bill has a German Shepherd! I wrote a letter to the columnist to find out the best place for smaller organizations like our rescue to speak out against the bill. I am also going to contact the Senator and give him a piece of my mind! Marci Smith Stepping Stone German Shepherd Rescue, Inc.
