• Dealing Dogs - CAMPAIGNS | LCA - Last Chance for Animals
• C.C. Baird was America’s most notorious dog dealer. For years, he supplied the country’s research labs with thousands of animals. Some of the dogs were strays. Others were suspected to be stolen pets. One fearless animal right’s group-Last Chance for Animals (LCA)- was desperate to shut down Baird’s multi-million dollar operation. LCA succeeded in placing one of its agents undercover for six months inside Baird’s Arkansas kennel to videotape the hideous crimes committed against the dogs. This is the story of that harrowing investigation and its historic outcome.
• LCA - Last Chance for Animals
• Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.
• Dogs Deserve Better Home: No Chained Dogs!
• Dogs deserve better than to live as chained dogs or penned dogs. Dog chaining or dog penning is not acceptable, and we must work together to unaccept it. A chained dog lives as a prisoner, yet longs to be a pet. Help us help them today.
• Kinship Circle
• Kinship Circle believes all beings possess the right to exist in their natural environment and express behaviors significant to their kind. When animals are viewed as "things for human use," and thus denied the primary protections humans enjoy, they are victims of speciesism, a discriminatory benchmark similar to race, religion, gender, sexual preference or age.

• Stop Puppy Mills
• The HSUS takes a stand against puppy mills on all possible levels, including supporting legislative changes, conducting investigations and litigation, and promoting public awareness and education. The HSUS also works with local authorities when called upon to help shut down the most abusive puppy mills.
  
  But it's important to know that, in most cases, puppy mills are not illegal. In every state, a breeding kennel can legally keep dozens, even hundreds, of dogs in cages for their entire lives, as long as the dogs are given the basics of food, water, and shelter. While The HSUS is opposed to puppy mills, The HSUS can not shut down or raid legal businesses. The HSUS is not a government, law enforcement, or regulatory agency.
  
  Because most puppy mills are not illegal, we need help from the public to put an end to the consumer demand for their "product." You can help The HSUS put a stop to puppy mills by getting your next dog from either:
  
  1) an animal shelter or pet rescue group
  2) a well-screened, responsible breeder.
