The CFHS is currently working with Canadian politicions to develop a comprehensive dog protection law that will protect working dogs (police, military, etc...), provide more effective legislation to shut down puppy mills (and keep them closed) and make all aspects of dog fighting illegal.
In addition, your donations have helped fund our 'Choose Adoption' ribbons and pins. Many dogs sold in Canada come from puppy mills, which are horrible breeding operations where dogs are kept in cramped, filthy cages their whole lives, deprived of adequate food, attention, and veterinary care, and forced to give birth to litter after litter of puppies. Tying a 'choose adoption' ribbon on a dog’s leash or collar identifies them as an adopted animal and raises awareness about the value of giving a home to a shelter dog. A dog may end up in a shelter for many reasons including an unexpected move, allergies or issues with a landlord; most have nothing to do with the dog itself. Learn about our Choose Adoption ribbons HERE.
Stay tuned to find out how our meeting with the Justice Minister goes! We'll be chatting about protection for dogs across Canada!
