Introduce a rehoming scheme for banned breeds
Amend legislation and establish a Rehoming Scheme specifically tailored for rehoming banned breed dogs that are of good temperament, collaborate with reputable rescue charities and organisations, ensuring that potential adopters undergo thorough screening and education on responsible dog ownership.
This could help prevent unnecessary euthanasia of dogs. I am concerned about the fate of stray or abandoned exempted dogs and those seized under section 1. Under the current legislation they face euthanasia due to their banned breed status. By advocating for the rehoming of these dogs with responsible owners, my aim is to give these animals a chance at life in a loving home. I believe all dogs, regardless of breed, should be judged based on their individual behaviour and temperament, not unfairly discriminated against.
