To continue the fight against dog fighting, a petition has been sent to Congress asking for their action to put a stop to this event.  This illegal act is still performed in towns and cities across the country.  Most states do have laws against dog fighting, but the felonies are often times dropped to just misdemeanors.  This equates to nothing more than a slap on the wrist, and the person is free to continue.  Some states allow dog fighting kennels, and allow people to watch.  Each time the proposal to ban dog fighting comes up before state legislature, it is rejected.  It is their hope that the more people who sign the petition and the more times it comes before the federal government, the more seriously the government will take banning this "sport" and making it a felony with stiff penalties across the nation.

Brandon and his wife work hard to ensure that each dog gets a good home.  There are already so many looking for homes, and thousands of perfectly adoptable dogs, including puppies, are put to sleep in pounds and shelters across the country because there are not enough homes for them all.  Spaying and neutering your pet is the best way to ensure there are not unwanted puppies living in shelters and pounds.  Spaying or neutering your dog also ensures he or she will live a long, healthy life.   So don't breed:  Adopt!
