Industry Landscape
The animal welfare and education industry is seeing a shift towards preventative care and responsible pet ownership. Digital platforms are crucial for outreach, community building, and education, especially with the rise of social media. Emphasis is growing on positive reinforcement training and reducing shelter populations through proactive measures rather than just reactive rescue efforts.

Blockchain for Pet Records
Decentralized ledgers can create secure, immutable records for pet ownership, medical history, and vaccination status, streamlining processes for shelters and owners.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Paws Off Act (Proposed, 2023)
A proposed federal act aiming to standardize and restrict the use of harmful training devices, such as shock collars and prong collars, promoting positive reinforcement methods.
This policy would directly support ADS's advocacy for positive reinforcement training methods, potentially increasing demand for their educational resources.
Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act (2019)
The PACT Act is a federal law making animal cruelty a federal felony, including crushing, burning, drowning, suffocating, impaling, or otherwise seriously harming animals.
While not directly about education, this law reinforces the legal framework against animal abuse, aligning with ADS's broader mission of animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.
State-level 'Puppy Mill' Ban Legislation (Ongoing)
Various states are enacting or proposing legislation to ban the sale of commercially bred dogs in pet stores, effectively curbing 'puppy mill' operations and promoting shelter adoption.
These state-level policies encourage pet adoption from shelters and rescues, aligning with ADS's goal to reduce shelter populations and promote responsible sourcing of pets.
