    PA Dog Laws Helping To Shut Down Puppy Mills
    Friday, June 11, 2010

    HARRISBURG (AP) -- An overhaul of Pennsylvania's dog laws has put a serious dent in the state's reputation as the "Puppy Mill of the East."

    Officials say a two-year-old law has driven most commercial breeders out of business. Scores of substandard kennels have opted to close, instead of comply with strict new health and safety standards. That frees at least 14,000 dogs from bleak conditions where they got little attention.

    Breeders who've stayed in business have spent tens of thousands of dollars to upgrade their kennels.
