Congress Considers Tax Deduction for Pet Owners - But We Need Your Help

URGENT CALL TO ACTION -- from Judy Parisi, Editor-in-Chief:  I have seen many blogs and forums on the internet ridiculing Congressman McCotter for introducing this bill to help pet guardians.  I promised Rep. McCotter that I would do everything I could to help support this bill.  While thankful, he said it will be a "steeply uphill battle."  Please join me in this battle, as well as the more than 29,000 others who have signed the petition and told our representatives that we support Congressman McCotter and want them to pass this very important bill.  CLICK HERE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO YOUR U.S. REPRESENTATIVE.

ABOUT THE BILL:  Congressman Thaddeus McCotter (R-Michigan) has introduced H.R. 3501, referred to as the "Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (HAPPY) Act" which would allow pet owners to take a tax deduction of up to $3,500  yearly for qualified pet care expenses. Read more...

When MARCELO was only six weeks old, he was dropped off at the pound with five other pups.  Fortunately, he's found a forever home and now enjoys three-mile hikes every morning.  And when he comes home: "He still has enough energy to poke thousands of holes in my hands and feet with his baby teeth," says Leila in California.  But, wasn't that what puppy teeth were made for?!
