The Calgary Humane Society clarified a statement by a Calgary pet store on social media Friday.
After The Top Dog Store issued a statement saying, "Professional Bylaw Officers from the Calgary Humane Society paid us a visit today and we are pleased to report that they had no concerns about the health or care of our puppies!" the Humane Society expanded on what it is they do when they inspect a pet store.
"The Act does not account for an animal's comfort, enrichment, happiness or proper socialization," it continued. "Nor does it address the ethics of mass commercial breeding or the contribution to an over-saturation of companion animals in the community – which creates capacity crises at local Humane Society's, SPCA's and animal shelters.
The store added that they provided copies of their adoption questionnaire, their health and development warranty, and aftercare protocol that ensures the puppy is fitting into its new home. They added that inspectors had the opportunity to examine the store's "immaculate record-keeping of puppy care, including all vaccinations and preventative health measures" along with daily care charts that monitor puppy health and development.
"What we’re asking people to do," he said, "is foster from an animal welfare organization, or adopt an animal from a shelter rather than purchase one from a store.”
