Don't let rescued fighting dogs drown in red tape.

 
Dogs rescued from fighting rings deserve a fighting chance. Tell the U.S. Congress to pass the HEART Act.

Dear friends,
When it comes to saving dogs from violent, coercive dog fighting rings, rescuing them is only half the battle. Unfortunately, once officials seize fighting dogs, they must go up against the U.S. government itself to ensure their safety.
That's because the majority of these dogs are taken to shelters where they must spend months, or even years, separated from possible human companions in order to ensure they don't pose a threat to public safety. In fact, many perfectly lovable and kind pups are euthanized without ever finding a forever home.
That's because, despite the fact that most of these fighting dogs weren't born violent, current laws stipulate that before they can be released, they must be isolated and retrained. What these badly-abused dogs really need is to be placed in a loving home.
U.S. Senators Kamala Harris and Susan Collins have introduced the HEART (Help Extract Animals from Red Tape) Act in the Senate, to go along with the popular bipartisan bill in the House. This would accelerate the process of mainstreaming the rescued animals, as well as hold their previous dog fighting owners financially responsible for their interim care and rehabilitation.
Thank you for all that you do,

P.S. We can't let another sad, abused dog languish in bureaucratic red tape. Please sign the petition.
