HB4753 amends the Animal Welfare Act to introduce stricter regulations for professional breeders, pet shops, and animal shelters in Illinois. It mandates that professional breeders retire animals that are no longer fit for breeding and ensure they find suitable homes. The bill also requires breeders to maintain detailed veterinary and care records for two years post-ownership. Pet shops and dog dealers must source dogs and cats from compliant breeders and shelters, and they must keep detailed records of each animal offered for sale.
