As more people turn to the internet to research and browse for a new pet, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies and Kijiji have partnered together to educate people about the need to choose a new pet responsibly. Adding a new pet to your home not only means doing your research on what type of animal best suits your lifestyle and who will be the main caregiver, but also whether you will adopt from a humane society or SPCA or look for a responsible and reputable breeder.
The CFHS advocates adopting your new pet from a local humane society or SPCA. However, we also recognize that some people really want to purchase from a breeder. To ensure that you are not supporting disreputable breeders or puppy mills when purchasing a new pet, the CFHS, in partnership with Kijiji, has developed a new brochure entitled Choose Your Pet Responsibly . This brochure gives prospective pet owners tips and guidelines to ensure that you make an informed choice when selecting a new pet. From why you should choose adoption as your first option to how to spot a disreputable breeder, this pamphlet is a must-read for all.
On June 13th and 14th, the CFHS will be joining Kijiji at North America’s largest outdoor canine festival, Woofstock. The annual festival in Toronto is the perfect place for dog lovers to come together to browse the latest in gadgets, clothing and other accessories. It is also a great place to meet animal lovers and talk about choosing a pet responsibly. The CFHS will be there to spread the word on adoption as well as how to find a responsible breeder. Come by the Kijiji booth for more information and a chance to win 1 of 2 pet goodie baskets; we’ll also have loot bags for making a donation as well as various other materials available.
