The story of “Puppy Doe” broke hearts across the globe.


My name is Joyel, and grew up in the same city where Puppy Doe was tortured. Like every dog lover, I was heartbroken when I learned what had happened to this innocent soul, and when I learned she fell into the hands of her abuser via a Craigslist ad, I was infuriated.


On September 21st, 2013, just a few days after the story made the news, I started a petition asking Craigslist to change their policies on pet ads.


Since then, nearly 400,000 people have signed my petition on Change.org asking Craigslist to review their policies and make changes that will help keep animals safe.


I’m asking everyone who has signed that original petition to join FEND’s mission to implement life-changing programs that will help prevent violent crimes from being committed against our pets.
