Petition to change k-9 neutering laws
Please comment on this post if you agree that the world needs more animals of every kind especially dogs. I believe we need laws to neuter mankind.

If this blog post gains some momentu

Four years later....

Despite the ups and downs, it continues to thrive whenever I am able to dedicate my time, energy, and motivation to growing the business.

Although the business has yet to generate financial returns, I have
