Breaking news: motion to ban sale of dogs in storefronts a success!

Tonight, the motion to ban the sale of dogs in storefronts was unanimously passed by the City of Richmond, making Richmond the first city in Canada to ban the sale of puppies in pet stores.

This follows on the council's decision in February of this year to ban the sale of rabbits in Richmond and is a big win for local animal protection groups.

Cats are not on the table as of yet, but with rabbits and dogs included now, we're one step closer to making sure fewer cats like Logan end up living at the sanctuary because people could too easily buy a cat without thinking it through.
