There are virtually no laws to protect puppy mill puppies whether they are raised in Ontario or imported from the United States. The new border inspection regulations are only a start. Animal Alliance will raise this issue through consumer education. We will support legislative initiatives designed to protect these animals and continue to work to end the importation of mill puppies into Canada. What You Can Do 1.
Few laws exist to protect the animals or the consumer.
If you can provide a home for an animal, adopt from your local shelter. Millions of animals die every year in North America because they are not wanted. Buying from a breeder means that one more shelter animal will die. If you absolutely must buy from a breeder, shop wisely. Check the newspapers.
