This week we’re joined by Ira Moss, CEO of All Dogs Matter, London’s independent re-homing charity.We discuss the situation in rescue with XL Bully types, being abandoned since the news of the XL Bully imminent ban. Ira explains that when the breed is banned it will be illegal for rescues to re-home these dogs and they will face euthanasia. One of Ira’s bugbears is buying dogs online, as a recently new phenomenon which are a shop window for puppy farmers and make it far too easy for anyone to buy a dog. And sell them when the dog is wanted.We talk about French Bulldogs and why ADM is overloaded with ex breeding bitch Frenchies, and others that have behavioural issues making them undesirable and abandoned. We agree that so much needs to be changed in the world of dogs, where pooches have become commodities and the ‘must-have' accessory.We also chat about cats and how they’re being abandoned with cat rescues also full to the brim! Support All Dogs Matter here or follow them on InstagramJoin Doghood, the new dog community app.If you love A Dog's Life and would like to help support the show why not become a Patreon backer where you can also have access to some exclusive content.
