K9 PAC serves as a community organizer for dog protection. We bring together dog lovers and help them communicate persuasively with their elected officials where it matters most - in their own cities, counties, states, and congressional districts. Wherever K9 PAC is working, we depend on the passion and energy of citizen lobbyists to create political change for our loyal companions.
Because elected officials are responsible for introducing and passing legislation, it is of the utmost importance that we ensure those officials share our concern for the well-being and protection of America's dogs. K9 PAC believes that the respect and protection of dogs is an American value and one that should not be divided between party lines. We are a bi-partisan organization and our support or opposition of legislators is solely based on their commitment to furthering the best interests of our canine companions.
