TAP to feed adoptable Drama! While living at the ASPCA Adoption Center, Drama can rely on getting two square meals a day, which can't be said for countless vulnerable, homeless animals. Help us give them meals this holiday season by visiting aspca.org/HungryAnimals 🧡

Over the years, the USDA has continued to fail at protecting animals. Sadly, horrific treatment at USDA-licensed puppy mills continues to be ignored. Goldie’s Act would help better protect animals in federally licensed breeding facilities. Learn more: aspca.org/goldiesact
Five years ago, the ASPCA and the Animal Rescue League of Iowa rescued 500+ dogs living in terrible conditions at a USDA-licensed puppy mill. Despite 200+ documented violations, the USDA failed to take timely action & the U.S. Department of Justice negotiated the dogs surrender.

We are heartbroken by the passing of our longtime friend Sir Patrick Stewart. 🧡 A passionate advocate for pit bulls, Patrick used his voice to challenge stereotypes and protect animals from cruelty. We are forever grateful for his compassion and friendship.
