Important News for Animal Welfare Establishments: Re-Homing and Rescue
T
here is currently some consideration taking place around the potential licensing of Animal Welfare Establishments (individuals, organisations and establishments rehabilitating, rehoming, releasing or providing long term care for cats and dogs).
CFSG is leading this work with the aim of licensing AWEs to ensure the welfare of animals in genuine establishments and to prevent malicious or criminal use to obfuscate the sale of puppies or dogs either from puppy farms or illegally imported from overseas.
You can read more about the process around licensing and what sort of standards would be involved here:
Animal Welfare Establishments Potential Licensing.pdf
We would like to get the views of those involved in AWEs, whether as an individual helping animals from your home or volunteering at an organisation. It is really important in understanding the pressures faced by AWEs and how licensing could best work to support animal welfare.
