Starting July 1, Georgia House Bill 331 will go into effect, making it illegal to sell dogs, cats, and rabbits in public spaces such as parks, flea markets, and parking lots - places long associated with unethical breeding practices. Whiskers, Paws and Love team sees this as a deeply meaningful step forward in protecting vulnerable animals and promoting compassionate, responsible care. This new law is more than policy - instead, it is a powerful move toward breaking the cycle of cruelty and giving every pet the chance at a safe, loving home.
