AB 2425 will expand the definition of dog breeder and ensure that all dogs sold by breeders are microchipped and vaccinated, include provisions requiring that shelters post the adoption availability of animals on their website or a third-party website, and order the California DFA to conduct a study on overcrowding in California shelters and potential remedies.
