Family dogs for the inclusive community: Alternatives to puppy mills
All dogs have beginnings; the origin and first life-chapter for puppies impacts their need for shelter services later. How can humane organizations influence best beginnings for dogs? In this interactive session, you?ll explore the data on trends in dog acquisition, discuss equity and accessibility of dog ownership, and brainstorm the role of shelters tailored to your community?s level of dog over- (or under-) population. Through reenvisioning acceptable alternatives to puppy mills, you?ll explore possible relationships with community breeders and discuss innovations that might lead to origins in the best interest of family dogs.
