The ASPCA's annual 'Paws for Celebration' took place on Tuesday on Capitol Hill, bringing together lawmakers, four-legged non-voters, and champions of animal welfare. Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), and Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA), Co-chairs of Congressional Animal Protection Caucus; Congressman Mike Quigley of Illnois; Nancy Perry, senior vice president of ASPCA Government Relations; and Debbie Marson of A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, all hope the event promotes awareness of animal welfare groups as well as the benefits of adopting a shelter pet.
