A Florida law just changed the future for dogs

He’ll never be hurt again. Now the law is on his side.

This may be Florida’s toughest law yet against animal cruelty.

Starting July 1, a new statewide law will go into effect that raises the penalties for extreme acts of animal abuse — and creates Florida’s first-ever animal abuse database to help stop repeat offenders.

This law is called Dexter’s Law, named in memory of a young dog who was found in a park — dumped like garbage with his head missing. 



His heartbreaking story shook people across the state.

This is what safety should look like.

This new law carries his name. 

But its purpose is larger: to prevent the next act of cruelty before it ever happens.



At 600MillionDogs, we believe protection must begin before a dog or cat is born into harm.

We can stop this before it starts.

This is why we’re developing a permanent birth control cookie that will safely spay or neuter a stray dog or cat — and they’ll only have to eat one cookie, one time.

With your support, we can stop cruelty before it begins.

Yes, I Want to Help Prevent Cruelty

Thank you so much for standing with the voiceless.
