Service Dogs at the Capitol

1 min read

Updated: Jul 6, 2023

SDI joined other animal advocates for Humane Lobby Day at the Texas State Capitol, March 23, 2023. We met with many legislative staffs about animal related bills. Next, we will testify in front of House and Senate Committees.


Protecting animals and those whose lives depend on them crosses all political lines!
