Local Efforts

The Humane Society of Skagit Valley and a group of concerned citizens spearheaded a local campaign to bring public awareness to the tragedies of puppy mills, the overpopulation dilemma, and the lack of regulations in Skagit County to prevent them. As a result of this public awareness campaign, Skagit County currently has a full moratorium on any new kennel permit applications until new kennel regulations are developed.
