AB1634 was overwhelmingly defeated in the Senate on Friday, August 22nd. If the process of finding out which legislators really cared about the health of dogs and the rights of dog owners mattered to you, please write, call or email and give them your opinion. Clicking on the legislators will take you directly to their websites. Those Senators who have TARGET SEAT after their names are not assured of re-election. If they are in your area, if you are interested in seeing them back in office, you might want to be active in their campaigns. CDOC does not engage is politics but we do track the legislators that make decisions based on facts and the needs of their constituents.
