Chained/Tethered Dog Advocacy Campaign Launches in Prince George
September 17, 2009
We're launching a campaign to raise awareness about the plight of chained, backyard dogs. The program is being launched today in Prince George and will be rolled out in communities across B.C. this fall.
"Every year SPCA animal protection officers respond to hundreds of calls about dogs who are chained or tethered in backyards," says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.
The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded primarily by public donations. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of animals through a wide range of services, including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
