Canada Pet Stores Become 'Puppy Friendly'

August 10, 2009, 11:51AM MT

The Humane Society International/Canada has announced that Your Pet Pals  in Victoria, BC has become the first Canadian store to sign their Puppy Friendly Pet Store Pledge   [PDF].

 

By signing this pledge, Your Pet Pals has made official their ethical decision to sell pet supplies only, and is a prime example of a business that puts the wellbeing of animals first.


In addition, Island Pet Source also located in Victoria, became the second Canadian store to sign the pledge.
Both store owners cite their love of animals as the reason for sighing the pledge. Both store owners also hope that their actions will act as example of respnosbel pet store owenership and that other stores will follow suit.

I agree with Kathi! I'm hoping and praying for the day there will be NO MORE puppy mill's or backyard breeder's. But as long as the law premitts calloused cold hearted people to profit from breeding, that might be a long time to come. But thank you so much Humane Society for the precious little lives you do save, plus all you are doing to try to stop it. God bless you all. Di
