Act 119 of 2008, The Dog Law
Act 119, the new dog law, was signed into law by Governor Rendell on October 8,
2008. This legislation was enacted to help Pennsylvania to rid its reputation as
the 'Puppy Mill Capitol of the East.' The updated law is designed to greatly
improve the treatment dogs receive while in commercial kennels. Now, dogs will
benefit from larger cage sizes without wire flooring, mandatory exercise
periods, and care by a trained veterinarian. The Canine Health Board was also
established by Act 119 of 2008 to develop guidelines for commercial dog kennels
in Pennsylvania. Click here to review the bill
