DEWDNEY ANIMAL HOSPITAL ADVICE

How do you know a pet charity is legit? First ask questions!! If they don’t like questions be skeptical. To find out if it is really a registered charities search here: https://apps.cra-arc.gc.ca/.../hacc/srch/pub/dsplyBscSrch...

To see if that rescue is a legit rescue check here: https://awanbc.com/members/

If your rescue is breeding animals. THEY ARE NOT A RESCUE!!!!! Do they do adopt-a-thons, were they adopt dogs off the tarmac? Think that is appropriate?
