Maryland officially bans pet stores from selling dogs from puppy mills

A new law has taken full effect in Maryland that aims to ban pet stores in the state from selling dogs bred in so-called �puppy mills.�

H.B. 1662, also known as the No More Puppy- and Kitten-Mills Act of 2018, was enacted on Wednesday, almost two years after Gov. Larry Hogan (R) first signed the measure into law in April 2018.

�I was proud to push for and enact the No More Puppy- and Kitten-Mills Act of 2018, which bans retail stores from the sale of commercially-bred pets that all too often come from inhumane breeding mills,� Hogan wrote of the legislation in a Facebook post on Thursday.

�We will continue to advocate on behalf of animal welfare and encourage safe, humane pet adoption here in Maryland,� he continued.
