The Dog Federation of Wisconsin (DFOW) is the unified voice of those who value the love of a good dog. We work to educate the public and law makers on responsible dog ownership, the threat animal rights poses to animal ownership and we work on canine legislation at federal, state and local levels.

It is our goal to insure that the people of Wisconsin continue to enjoy their right to own dogs. We believe that our citizens - and future generations - should have the right to choose where they wish to purchase their dog and the freedom to make their own decision as to whether or not to breed it.

• Do you know what the current animal ordinance in your community says?
• What would you do if your favorite dog breed were banned in your community?
• Do you know where to watch for upcoming legislative proposals?

The Dog Federation of Wisconsin is here to help. Explore our website and learn what you can do to protect your rights as a dog owner.
