What can you do to help solve the problem?
Reproduction control
Unwanted litters are one of the main causes of abandonment.
Preventing them is one of our responsibilities if we are caring for a dog or cat.
Identification
Chipping an animal in our care is not only an obligation, but our most important one: it makes it much easier to return a lost pet home.
Training
Knowing and training our pet is an important way to forge healthy bonds.
Training can prevent and help manage potential behavioural and relationship problems.
A good relationship reduces the risk of abandonment.
Adoption
When you adopt, you are changing a dog’s or cat’s life for ever.
You’ll receive advice from the shelter and you will be helping to solve a problem that affects us all.
