Dear Fellow Rescue Organizations.
In January, Oreo's Law will be presented to the legislation in the Assembly. We are asking you to join in support of this new legislation. No animal should ever die when a bona fide 501(c)3 rescue is willing to save the animal. It has happened to us, it has probably happened to many of you. This law has been on the books in California for over 10 years. They have had NO SUCH ISSUES such as hoarders getting more animals (let's face it - hoarders can get them ANYWHERE) or dog fighters getting dogs. Those are the two arguments against the law which really make no sense. Why are some willing to sacrifice something that could save hundreds of thousands of animals a year, for the possibility that a very, very small number MIGHT fall into less than ideal circumstances. Indeed we take that chance every single time we adopt an animal out to any "family". So this email is to ask for your letters of support, signed on your letterhead. We will add it to our website.
For more discussion and talking points and explanation of Oreo's Law, please review our website here:

We are also asking that if you have any stories of trying to pull an animal that you wanted to save but were turned away, to please email us and let us know the details. You can remain anonymous, but some larger organizations feel this is NOT an issue in New York and so therefore the legislation is not necessary.
Thank you for all you do for the animals. Let's try to work together to save as many animals as we can in 2010!
