Representative Thaddeous McCotter of Michigan has introduced a bill called Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (HAPPY) that would provide a $3500.00 deduction for pet owners which would include food and veterinary care. Representative McCotter’s bill is in response to the huge increase of animals that are being surrendered to shelters across the country. The tax relief would help keep animals in their homes and supporting the human animal bond. SarastoaDog is researching how we can support the Happy Act. We’ll keep you posted.
