Petition to Stop Tennessee Dog Auction

A Tennessee judge has ordered the seized dogs of a convicted animal abuser to be sold at public auction on October 16th. These animals consist of over 200 purebred Maltese and will be sold intact, most likely to other puppy mills.
Maltese are one of the top selling dogs in puppy mills and it is not uncommon for these dogs to fetch over $1000 at Midwestern puppy mills. Foster homes have provided loving care to these animals and were shocked by the judge's ruling. They are now faced with putting the dogs they vowed to protect into the hands of a similar or worse fate.
We are working to legally halt this auction, but as a last resort, we need to collect thousands of signatures to present to the Tennessee Governor. Please take a moment (it honestly only takes a VERY short moment!) of your time to sign the petition.
