Molly’s Law to protect “bait dogs” and help stop dog-fighting – PASSED!

While breed neutral legislation did not pass due to lack of consensus between House and Senate versions, MVFA is determined to press on until we find a resolution.  We are working on a new offensive to tackle the storm surrounding this critical issue for pit bulls and their owners, please stay tuned for additional information and action alerts. In closing, as a long-time observer of the MGA, who knows how far we’ve come, I am hopeful for the future and confident we will look back at 2013 as the year the tide turned for Maryland’s animals. THANK YOU for being a crucial part of this positive change!
