A Rottie's Brave Fight for NITRO'S LAW


On October 22, 2008 an elite dog training & boarding facility 'High Caliber K-9' in Youngstown, Ohio was raided. Steve Croley owner & training of High Caliber was arrested, charged, convicted on just a misdemeanor infraction for starving 19 dogs, 8 of which died.


 NITRO'S LAW is a legacy and testament in honor of a family's Rottweiler that was starved to death at this man's hands.


 Ohio House Bill 70 has passed the house and is now in the Senate for consideration. 


This will elevate Ohio's archaic animal cruelty law from a misdemeanor to a felony, ensuring justice will be served in protection of Ohio's companion animals.

















Thank you to the Dog Examiner for this wonderful video.

 Tell them to move it to the floor for a vote. Tell the Senate to pass the bill. Tell your Ohio State Senator to pass the bill. Tell Governor Strickland to sign it. This law will make animal abuse a 5th degree Felony for certain acts of animal cruelty with a minimum of ONE YEAR JAIL TIME for each count. Here are the names, addresses, e-mails and phone numbers for the Criminal Justice Committee.
