ALL THINGS DOG!
Causeway Coast Dog Rescue's 'All things DOG' podcast, is about: sharing information on having a dog; responsible dog ownership; legislation around dog and companion animal welfare; who does what in government when it comes to dogs and animal welfare; speaking to those who are professionals in animal welfare and to those who have dogs who love to share their personal experiences! This Podcast is about 'all things dog'!.
We will also chat about companion animal welfare, and some of the other animals which enrich our lives and what we need to know to support and protect their health and well being.
CCDR is a charity supported by your donations, and we lobby for reform. Will will also include discussions on these much needed areas for reform, gaps in legislation, policies and process and why these issues are important to both animals as well as our own health and well being - 'One Health'.

Ireland leads on safeguarding pups during breeding

CCDR congratulates Irish politician Jennifer Whitmore and @DogLawIreland for their leadership in advancing important amendments to the Dog Welfare Bill in the Republic of Ireland. Their work outlines a robust set of protections that place the welfare of breeding dogs and puppies at the centre of legislation.
While these reforms apply only within Ireland, they highlight significant gaps in safeguarding across Northern Ireland and Great Britain. This moment offers an important opportunity for us to reflect, learn from the progress of others, and strengthen how we protect our own companion animals.
These changes will also help improve the welfare of puppies being purchased or sold in Northern Ireland from Ireland, ensuring better standards and clearer expectations for breeders and buyers alike.
Ethical breeding is essential, not only to protect animals, but also to safeguard people from unknowingly engaging with unethical or irresponsible breeders. CCDR is grateful for the expertise of @DogLawIreland, whose support and detailed legislative insight continue to guide this important work. πΎ
