Our Position on Key Dog Welfare Issues
Neutering and Spaying: We support spaying and neutering as an essential step for population control, health, and safety.
Training and Discipline: We emphasize positive reinforcement, redirection, and humane training practices, discouraging any form of punishment that may harm a dog physically or emotionally.
Health and Preventative Care: We advocate for regular check-ups, vaccinations, and preventative treatments such as flea and tick control to support lifelong health.
Adoption and Rehoming: We encourage responsible adoption and view rehoming as a last resort, promoting behavioral solutions to prevent unnecessary surrender.
Outdoor Time: While outdoor activities can be enriching for dogs, we recommend that owners keep them safe with secure enclosures, leashes, or supervised access.
