WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / October 8, 2025 / Victor McShan of Amite, Louisiana, traveled to Washington, D.C. as the official delegate representing dog breeders for the State of Louisiana at the 2025 Pet Care Community D.C Fly-In with the Breeder Leadership Council (BLC).

Victor McShan at National Advocacy Tour in Washington, D.C.

McShan joined lawmakers and a diverse group of pet professionals-including breeders, trainers, aquatics specialists, exotic pet caretakers, and veterinary service providers-for a multi-day advocacy and listening tour.

The delegation met with congressional offices, including those of Senator Bill Cassidy, Senator John Kennedy, and Representative Julia Letlow, to share first-hand perspectives from the pet care community.

McShan was selected for the delegation based on his experience in responsible breeding and his efforts to support families and veterans. Through his breeding program, Golden Puppies, and his service dog initiative, Operation Friendship, he has helped connect people with dogs that provide companionship and support.

The trip was organized in partnership with the Pet Advocacy Network (PAN), the national policy voice of the responsible pet care community. PAN advocates for priorities such as animal health, responsible ownership, environmental stewardship, and strengthening the human-animal bond.

"This trip was about more than legislation," McShan said. "It was about lifting up the voices of those who dedicate their lives to animals-the champions of the human-animal bond, delivering daily care, all while sustaining their small businesses. Every pet matters, and every professional's insight must be part of the conversation."
