WVVAW has a strong position against puppy mills. We worked with HSUS to obtain WV Legislation, the Commercial Dog Breeder’s Law 19.20.26 in 2013. Approx. 15 counties have set fees for breeders within their counties. Regardless of their laxness in setting fees, the law still applies to any commercial breeder within the state of WV. The fees collected are to be used for animal shelters, animal rescue and spay neuter programs administered by county animal shelters or other humane organizations. spay neuter.
There is concern of the treatment of animals, acquiring puppies from known puppy mills/brokers, deceptive tactics & lack of transparency.
