| “Puppy smuggling, illegal breeding and organised dog theft are serious crimes.”
Criminal gangs have profited from the pandemic and people’s desire for a canine companion – and, sadly, they’re also profiting from a surplus of dogs in neighbourhoods since the lockdowns as people have found looking after a dog more of a burden than they had anticipated and abandoned their new pets.
If you are thinking of buying a puppy, did you know that if you buy through an unauthorised source, you could be funding organised crime?
Help to stop organised crime and cruelty to animals by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800555111 what you know. You’ll stay 100% anonymous.
