The CFHS is currently working with Canadian politicians to move a comprehensive dog protection bill that protects working dogs (police, military, etc...), while advocating for more effective legislation to shut down puppy mills (and keep them closed) and make all aspects of dog fighting illegal.
In order to advance our work we are launching our next strategic initiative this fall – a comprehensive research report demonstrating the scope and scale of the puppy mill problem in Canada. This report will be the first of its kind exposing these mills that operate behind glossy websites, innocent-looking Kijiji posts, and pet store sales. We will demonstrate the abuse that happens when puppies are a profitable product and animals aren’t protected by the law. Our legislators won’t be able to ignore the reality of puppy mill abuse. This report will be an invaluable tool in helping us push for change to animal welfare laws.
In addition, your donations continue to fund our 'Choose Adoption' ribbons and pins. 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 ribbon at www.FindingFido.ca.
