A new rule that takes effect Sept. 28 bans importation of dogs from more than 100 countries considered high risk for canine-variant rabies.
A B.C. dog rescue organization says a federal ban on imported canines from about 100 countries will have a negative impact on dogs around the world.
The agency said there are no active cases of dog rabies in Canada, but the ban was initiated because two infected dogs were imported into the country in 2021. “If there was to be an outbreak, there’s no doubt there would be extreme measures taken to try and prevent it and that would include euthanizing a number of dogs.”
“I really do believe in giving those dogs that are abused or bred for the wrong reasons, [in] giving them another chance,” she said.
