Description

Pet shops; sale of dogs; maintenance and availability of records. Amends the definition of "pet shop" to clarify that such entity is a "retail" establishment and requires any pet shop that sells dogs to post a notice stating that USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) inspection reports are available prior to purchase. The bill requires the shop to (i) maintain a written record containing such reports and other detailed information about each dog for at least two years after the date of sale of the dog, (ii) make the record available to purchasers and other specified parties, and (iii) transmit certain information for dogs obtained from a breeder or dealer or a private or public animal shelter to the local animal control officer upon request.
