This is heart breaking.
We need to do better.
We need breeding to STOP.
Importing dogs where there is no space to bring them is mind blowing.
We need better laws to protect dogs from humans.
This was a huge organization, their closure speaks volumes to the crisis.
PLEASE, adopt don't shop.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
We have come to the realization that it's time to make some changes. Our personnel have changed, and circumstances surrounding Rescue have changed. COVID had a huge impact on the Rescue industry, leaving more dogs needing homes than we have ever seen before. Additionally, hundreds of dogs are imported into Canada monthly, flooding the system and diluting vital resources. Finding fosters has become increasingly challenging, and the number of owners wanting to surrender their dogs is overwhelming. We no longer feel like we're making an impact, and lack the manpower to continue to fight the battle.
Over the last 11 years, we've had the privilege of finding homes for countless bully breed and other four-legged companions in need. Unfortunately, we are now in a position where we are unable to continue in this way and must close down the rescue part of our operation. It's with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of Loveabull Rescue Society.
While we are no longer focussing on rescue, our commitment to animal welfare and our community lives on. Through our 'Spread The Love' project, we will continue to support marginalized pet owners in the Lower Mainland and throughout BC, with food, supplies, and resources. Our hopes are that with this initiative, there will be less chance of animals being surrendered or rehomed. We are excited to further develop this outreach project.
The team at Loveabull want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us: our volunteers, veterinary clinics, rescue partners, pet food suppliers, sponsors, donors, and especially our fosters and adopters. Your kindness and generosity have made the difference in the lives of so many dogs, and for that, we are forever grateful.
For our Loveabull adopter family, please know that we are still here as a resource for you, as long as you need us. We stand by our motto: "Once a Loveabull dog, always a Loveabull dog."
Lastly, we thank our followers for your support over the years. Without you, we would not have been able to rehome the hundreds of dogs that found their way into our care. Thank you for being a part of the Loveabull journey.
