Rescues must be responsible not just for transport but for adequate care of the animals until adoption

Health evaluation from a Canadian vet with paperwork, time to allow animal to decompress before adoption

Whoever the animal is surrendered to on the signed surrender form or transfer form until a further transaction like adoption occurs.

I highly recommend banning of importing foster animals. We have enough animals here to rescue. The person who arranges travel is in charge

A month long home or kennel quarantine followed by a vet check Too many rescues bringing in unwanted diseases Adequate record keeping

The organization is the owner, but the transporter holds some responsibility while in their care. As a daycare would be for a child.

Owner should be the person/org importing that animal. However, care of that animal during transport falls to the transporter.

The owner of an animal should be the person or organization importing the animal. For example if a pet store imports they are responsible.

Owners of imported animals should not be permitted to sell those animals for exceptionally high adoption fees.

I believe the organization that brings the animal in is the owner until such time it is adopted out

Once the imported animal has been put into a permanent home (not a foster home) then that permanent home is now the responsible person

During transport it would be the transporter. Once dropped at destination it becomes the rescues responsibility.

Certification from a veterinarian that the animal is free of transmissable diseases and notifiable diseases.

I oppose commercial import of animals for sale.

Permits with documentation of infectious diseases to be negative. A strict 30 day quarantine and mandatory follow up with veterinarian

Mandatory training (class or private) with completion certificate stating any behavoiral issues controlled. Trainers accountable for signin

This would be difficult to put in place. CBS should be responsible for the requirements.

All appropriate shots, examined by certified vet and quarantined before released to rescue

They should only go to rescue's or private persons and should not be allowed to charge extensively for adoption fees

it should be a standard practice that all commercial importers of animals must have a business license.

All imported animals must be accompanied by an assessment completed by a recognized expert

Burcellosis exams, rabies shot, vaccinations, heart worm, full health exam, they are bringing diseases we have not seen in our province

They all need to be micro chipped and licensed as well as up to date on shots and rabies. They should also be snap4dx tested

The importation of animals for retail sale should be banned. Licensing or permitting should be required for breeding.

Fining for no license. I've been involved in numerous cases where bylaw officers have not written tickets for unlicensed animals.

Stricter enforcement of owned roaming cats. Add’l incentives. Have you measured the effect of the reduced fee for spayed/ neutered pets?

Some sort of rewards program, and more advertising through vet clinics.

more enforcement

Stronger enforcement of current bylaws regarding roaming animals. You have the bylaws in place, but enforcement is lacking.

fines and education - it is a process changing the way people think

More understanding of the reasons why pets are licensed in the first place, to enable a municipality to return the animal to the owner

Not sure cat people think differently then dog people - other than a license is your cat's ticket home or if he is found dead can notify you

stiff fines

I do not believe in cat licensing. Most cats don't/won't wear collars and they are micro chipped. Licensing my cat will not return it faster

Advertisement of the system

Voucher system to put towards licensing fees towards veterinary services.

Fines for no license.

Same as cats, better enforcement, more incentives, multi animal discounts.

Heavier fines for being caught without a license. Too many people think it is a joke

Enforcement of current bylaws.

Same answer as for cats, more education

Ticket home - posters I thought were very effective. Again if found in distress or dead you can be notified

Really expensive fines. There is no reason not to license your dogs

Stories on how the license has assisted more pet owners, stories of re-unification, where is the money from licensing spent for pet owners.

Advertisement of the system, fines for dog owners with pets in public that aren't licensed

Money talks...if it was cheaper or part of a microchip registration.

Discounts on multi pet households

A rewards program with incentives & also increased fines. If your dog is impounded and not licensed, it must be licensed before released.

A small fee to compensate for using city parks that may cause extra damage. Course Trained walkers. Animal welfare policy.

adequate transport methods Observation/ inspection/ enforcement of violations Paid for permit to use city parks as a business

Dog walkers should be classified as owners within the definition of the bylaw while they are in care and control of a dog.

They should be paying a business license fee and if they are using the free off leash city parks - they need to pay for them

Be trained on dog behavior and body language.

To get their permit, professional dog walkers should show proof of commercial auto and liability insurance. I have more, space doesn't allow

no

To screen potential dog clients to make sure they are fit for social walking.

Previous question I could only check one box, all apply. Trained, licensed and adhering to restrictions for multiple dogs is very important.

Dogwalker should NOT be allowed to walk dogs in large groups. NOBODY can handle more than a couple dogs at a time.

We could only select one on the above question. Pretty much all should apply.

All of the above (it will not select multiple)

Suggest some training on handling, behaviour and animal welfare.

Pay for city park access if they charge for their services Repeated offenders lose their business license If owners, no extra rules

They must respect the laws of the bike paths sidewalks etc. When walking multiple dogs, pull over to the side of the sidewalk to pass

Know body language of dogs. Be able to have 100% of control over the dogs you are walking.

Pet care hosted by services like Rover.com and Dog Vacay need regulation. People are running businesses with no licenses and out of zoning.

Mandatory collection of waste

They should have some sort of training, business license and insurance.

Not sure what you mean by this type of walker..still doing it for remuneration? Or are these the walkers own dogs -if so no restrictions.

Again, could only check one box in previous question. Dogs should be under control at all times, either through obedience or with leashes.

All of the above
