Ways You Can Help End Puppy Mills in Missouri
Our partners at the Missouri Alliance for Animal Legislation celebrated major victories during the 2026 Missouri Legislative Session, including the passage of the long-awaited cross-reporting bill, HB 2292. The new law strengthens protections for vulnerable children, elders, and animals by improving coordination between human service professionals and animal welfare investigators.
The Alliance also successfully helped defeat several harmful proposals that would have weakened animal welfare protections across Missouri, while continuing to advance legislation aimed at improving the care and safety of animals statewide.
We’re proud to partner with organizations making meaningful change for communities across Missouri.
