Protect Pets, Families, and Small Businesses in Jersey City

Jersey City is considering a new law that would ban the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in local pet stores.

If passed, this ordinance would shut down responsible, regulated pet stores while doing nothing to stop unethical breeders. Families searching for a new pet would be pushed toward less regulated sources where scams and unsafe sellers thrive. The result? Fewer protections for both animals and people.

Responsible pet stores and breeders are part of the solution. They follow strict standards, provide clear sourcing, and ensure animals are healthy and cared for. 

Tell the Jersey City Council to reject Ordinance No. 25-113 and protect responsible pet choice, animal welfare, and small businesses.
