Thank you to City of Lino Lakes for passing a Humane Pet Store Ordinance at their city council meeting last night! Also a huge thank you to the resident that brought this forward to their elected officials and made it happen! This ordinance is an important preventative measure to avoid the sale of puppies and kittens from breeders who care more about turning a profit than the welfare of the animals.
As we see every single day, rescues and shelters are struggling and always need folks to foster and adopt animals. This is a crisis and we shouldn't be adding to the problem by bringing more dogs and cats into existence if we can't properly care for the ones who are here.
Lino Lakes is now the 14th city to enact this ordinance and we're so grateful!
