In an attempt to reduce California’s deficit, Governor Brown has proposed a substantial weakening of the Hayden Act, including sections that require shelters to care for homeless and lost companion animals for up to six days before euthanizing them. This holding period is crucial to allowing lost dogs and cats to be reunited with their families or adopted when they are unclaimed or abandoned.

Please take a moment today to contact Governor Brown and your state legislators here: http://ow.ly/8Fcn2 Urge them to oppose any legislation that will remove existing protections for homeless and lost companion animals. It took me just a minute or two... very simple, and SO important!
